Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival

Our 39th season promises to be another spectacular one, guaranteed to delight, entertain, and inspire, with music spanning the spectrum from Bach and friends to a traversal of Beethoven’s complete Piano Trios to
works of the 21st century.

Here are just a few of the reasons you won’t want to miss a single note:

• Soprano Dawn Upshaw, our 2011 Artist-in-Residence, shines in 
three programs across five nights (including an appearance in our Albuquerque series)

• The complete Beethoven Trios, presented in all their glory over
the course of two nights by Ida Kavafian, Peter Wiley, and 
Anne-Marie McDermott

• Two sets of Four Seasons: by Vivaldi and Piazzolla

• Five piano recitals—always among our most popular offerings

• Marc Neikrug’s new Clarinet Quintet featuring David Shifrin

• Festival co-commissions by Christopher Rouse, 
Marc-André Dalbavie, and Sean Shepherd.

Our artist roster includes the Orion String Quartet, Soovin Kim, Cecile Licad, and Liang Wang; plus debuts by the Calder Quartet, 
pianists Gilbert Kalish and Frédéric Chaslin (chief conductor of 
Santa Fe Opera), baritone Matthew Worth, guitarist Claudio Ragazzi, Michael Ward-Bergeman playing accordion, and the category-shattering trio, Time for Three.

And, of course, Santa Fe’s alluring location guarantees that your 
2011 Festival experience will be… Intimate. Compelling. Unforgettable.
