The Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival begins the 27th season on July 19th. I recently completed the design work for the festival and it looks like it is going to be another amazing series.
The 2009 season includes 36 concerts, five youth concerts and three master classes. All-in-all they will perform more than 100 compositions—many rarely heard live.
Some highlights include three world premiers: Gunther Schuller's Quintet for Horn and Strings, George Tsontakis' Stimulus Package and Mark-Anthony Turnage's Grazioso!.
As a pianist, I am looking forward to to the performance of Charles-Valentin Alkan's Symphony for Piano.
I will do future posts if and when I am able to attend some of the concerts.
This year the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival has included a networking group for young audience members. If you are young and into chamber music you should consider joining. The group is called YAG (young audience group) and offers it's members discount tickets, meet the artist cocktail parties and specific YAG concert nights. It is free to join.
