More from the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival
Please read the few previous blogs to get the full gist of this story. I was so enamored with last night’s performance, I decided to see if any tickets were left for another artist I wanted to hear. I got one, there are very few left. Listen to this amazing musician/singer and perhaps you could get in to one of her concerts. Kaija Saariaho… of course there will be other premieres as well, look at the following invitation.
Concerts Selling Out in First Week of 2008 Season
If you haven’t already ordered your tickets, act now!
The 36th season of the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival is off to a strong start – great music, great artists and capacity audiences! Several of Week One’s concerts were completely sold out, attesting to the popularity of this season’s programming and guest artists. Some tickets are still available for next week, so don’t hesitate – order your tickets now!
A sample of the phenomenal music offerings next week include:
The renowned Orion String Quartet performs their long- awaited for second installment of the Beethoven String Quartet Cycle on August 6th, 7th, 10th, and 11th. Last year’s concerts were completely sold out, so don’t miss this great quartet playing some of the sublime music ever written.
On Saturday, August 9th pianist Benjamin Hochman performs Bach’s Goldberg Variations.
In addition to Bach and Beethoven, you can also participate in three world premieres. The premiere of Musical America’s 2008 Composer of the Year, Kaija Saariaho’s Festival Co-Commission, Serenatas, will be played by the celebrated ensemble Real Quiet on August 3rd, 4th and 6th. Don’t miss this – the composer allows the musicians to choose the performance order of the movements – each of the three performances could be completely different!
The premiere of Huang Ruo’s Festival Commission, Real Loud, also performed by Real Quiet is on August 6th.
August 5th features the world premiere of Festival artistic director and composer/pianist Marc Neikrug’s Piece for Pro Piano Hamburg Steinway Model D & Marimba One, performed by Mr. Neikrug and Drew Lang playing a huge, five-octave marimba.
Of course, there’s much more – call, go online or stop by the box office for more details. See you next week!

Don’t miss out, this is an incredible season. Both concerts I have attended were packed and really exciting! Plus being downtown on the plaza in the early evening is really romantically marvelous. It’s Santa Fe Charm that has a way of catching you off guard even after years of living here. Last night, after the concert, we listened to another concert on the plaza by Po Girl. We then went to Ortega’s for appetizer and two musicians from the Hoo Doo’s were playing. We went to LA Fonda for a biger bite to eat and presto Bill Hearne a famous fellow from here was playing. AS we left the restaurant to go home, a latin band was playing music on the sidewalk. Bravo!
A cool breeze, the starry night, surrounded by beauty. Ahhh! Get some chamber music tickets and go deep into the profound soul of mystical music. It’s your chance now to catch these amazing shows!
