Season 48

It’s another exciting summer at the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, filled with classics of the repertoire, lesser-known gems, five world premieres, and a brand-new stage work—plus we’re expanding a recently launched series and, as always, featuring some of the most extraordinary artists in the world.

Legendary pianist Richard Goode returns to the Festival for the first time in years to present a solo recital of works by Mozart, Brahms, Debussy, and Chopin, and violin superstar Leila Josefowicz makes her Festival debut performing Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time with pianist Gilles Vonsattel, cellist Peter Wiley, and clarinetist Ricardo Morales. In another highly anticipated return appearance, soprano Tony Arnold, renowned for her interpretations of contemporary and cutting-edge music, partners with violinist Movses Pogossian, in his Festival debut, for György Kurtág’s revelatory Kafka Fragments.

James Gaffigan, chief conductor of the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra and principal guest conductor of the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, makes his Festival debut leading four large works: Wagner’s Siegfried Idyll, Knussen’s Requiem: Songs for Sue, Takemitsu’s Rain Coming, and Schoenberg’s Chamber Symphony No. 1.

And, in a one-time-only event, visionary director Doug Fitch, praised by The New York Times for his “imaginatively and resourcefully staged” productions, brings Artistic Director Marc Neikrug’s chamber opera A Song by Mahler—featuring mezzo-soprano Kelley O’Connor, baritone Kelly Markgraf, clarinetist David Shifrin, and the FLUX Quartet—to the Festival for its New Mexico premiere.

Two dynamic ensembles—the Dover Quartet and the Escher String Quartet—join forces for octets by Mendelssohn and Enescu, and, over the course of three evenings, the Chien-Kim-Watkins Trio performs the full cycle of Beethoven’s groundbreaking Piano Trios.

Building on the momentum of the 2019 season, the Festival expands its piano-vocal recital series from three concerts to four, presenting towering works of the art-song repertoire like Mahler’s Songs of a Wayfarer and Beethoven’s To the Distant Beloved while featuring seven powerhouse performers: mezzo-sopranos Michelle DeYoung and Sasha Cooke, tenor Paul Groves, countertenor Jakub Józef Orliński, and pianists Calio Alonso, Pei-Yao Wang, and Michał Biel.

Solo recitals this season feature, in addition to Richard Goode, pianists Ran Dank, Benjamin Hochman, Nicolas Namoradze, Juho Pohjonen, and Gilles Vonsattel.

Continuing its commitment to championing new music, the Festival presents the world premieres of four commissioned string quartets—by Augusta Read Thomas, Helen Grime, and the two participants in the Festival’s Young Composers String Quartet Project, Jack Hughes and Lara Poe—as well as a work for piano and wind quintet by Michael Seltenreich.

Festival debuts include violinists Camilla Kjøll, the former first concertmaster of The Norwegian Opera & Ballet, and Amy Oshiro, a member of The Philadelphia Orchestra, in addition to Josefowicz, Pogossian, Gaffigan, Orliński, Alonso, Biel, Namoradze, and the Chien-Kim-Watkins Trio. Among the dozens of returning artists are violinists John Storgårds, Ida Kavafian, and Daniel Phillips; violist Paul Neubauer; cellist Eric Kim; flutist Tara Helen O’Connor; and the New York Philharmonic and Orion String Quartets.

All this and more is on offer this summer, so read on for details. We look forward to seeing you during our 2020 season!

For the first time in its history, the Festival presents the full cycle of Beethoven’s Piano Trios performed over the course of a single season. The revolutionary, groundbreaking works reveal not just Beethoven’s talents as a composer and piano virtuoso but also his visionary spirit and gift for redefining every form and genre he touched.

The newly formed Chien-Kim-Watkins Trio performs nine works, beginning with Beethoven’s Op. 1, No. 1, and ending with his towering “Archduke” Trio. The Chien-Kim-Watkins Trio comprises pianist Gloria Chien and violinist Soovin Kim—who, in 2021, become co-artistic directors of Chamber Music Northwest—and Paul Watkins, cellist for the acclaimed Emerson String Quartet.

A SONG BY MAHLERThursday, August 20, 6 pm / The Lensic Performing Arts Center

On Thursday, August 20, the Festival presents one of the most extraordinary events of its 2020 season: the New Mexico premiere of the chamber opera A Song by Mahler, written by the Festival’s Artistic Director, Marc Neikrug, and staged by director Doug Fitch—whose acclaimed productions include Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen and Ligeti’s Le Grand Macabre for the New York Philharmonic, Puccini’s Turandot for The Santa Fe Opera, and Stravinsky’s L’Histoire du Soldat for the Festival—with lighting design by Nicholas Houfek.

In a synopsis of the work, Marc writes:

A celebrated concert singer, famous for a particular Mahler love song, contracts early-onset Alzheimer’s. The drama follows her and her husband, who is also her pianist, as they confront their new reality. As her illness progresses, he tries to stave off the inevitable consequences through music and her singing. The tragic end resolves in a new, elevated understanding of their love.

A Song by Mahler showcases the talents of some of the world’s leading and most-compelling musicians: mezzo-soprano Kelley O’Connor, baritone Kelly Markgraf, clarinetist David Shifrin, and the FLUX Quartet. Be sure to make this unique musical event part of your 2020 Festival experience!
