50 YEARS!
2023 is our 50th anniversary season, and we can’t wait to celebrate it with you! Purchase or renew your subscriptions today—getting the best seats at the best prices—and join us in the summer for this exciting musical milestone.
A centerpiece of the season is the return of conductor Alan Gilbert, who reprises his epic 2015 performance of Messiaen’s From the Canyons to the Stars—a monumental work that was written in celebration of the bicentennial of the Declaration of Independence and evokes the awe-inspiring majesty of the American Southwest. The work’s soloists include one of the Festival’s most cherished longtime collaborators, pianist Kirill Gerstein
Other returning artists who’ve made an important mark on the Festival include mezzo-soprano Susan Graham, violinist Cho-Liang Lin, bassist Edgar Meyer, violist and former Festival Artistic Director Heiichiro Ohyama, and the Dover, Escher, FLUX, and Miami string quartets. Artists making Festival debuts include baritone Thomas Hampson, violinists Chad Hoopes and Yura Lee, cellist Zlatomir Fung, and Metropolitan Opera Orchestra Principal Flute Chelsea Knox.
Programming for our 2023 season spans several styles and centuries—from Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons and Schoenberg’s Transfigured Night to Handel’s La Lucrezia and Stravinsky’s two-piano arrangement of The Rite of Spring. We also have dozens of Festival favorites—like Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, Schubert’s Trout Quintet, Dvořák’s American Quartet, and Tchaikovsky’s Piano Trio in A Minor as well as lesser-known gems by Biber, Popper, Braunfels, Thuille, and others.
As always, we’re presenting several world and US premieres, with this year’s Festival commissions including works by Magnus Lindberg, Ryan Chase, Christopher Stark, Charlotte Bray, and our two 2023 Young Composers. You can also hear the New Mexico premiere of a new Oboe Quartet by Festival Artistic Director Marc Neikrug
On our popular Music at Noon and Bach Plus series, we’re offering 11 vocal and instrumental recitals, which include performances by violinist Rachel Barton Pine and pianists Inon Barnatan, Zoltán Fejérvári, Nicolas Namoradze, Juho Pohjonen, and Haochen Zhang. Tenor Paul Appleby and pianist Laura Poe perform Schubert’s first song cycle, Die schöne Müllerin; soprano Tony Arnold and violinist Movses Pogossian join forces in György Kurtág’s Kafka Fragments (one of their signature works); and soprano Ana María Martínez and pianist Craig Terry, mezzo-soprano Michelle DeYoung and pianist Kevin Murphy, and mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnson Cano and pianist Christopher Cano render wonderfully powerful songs from the rich art-song repertoire. You can find all this
