From July 17 to Aug. 22, the celebrated Festival will feature more than 90 exciting works in Santa Fe and Albuquerque concert halls. The magical ambience of the high-desert mountains will enhance the remarkable chamber music offerings that span five centuries, from composers of the Bach family and Mozart toTakemitsu and today’s most respected composers. “For 44 years the Festival has been inspiring audiences with its remarkable dedication to presenting the full spectrum of chamber music – from the grandest of masterpieces to whimsical and entertaining works,” said Marc Neikrug, now in his 19th year as artistic director of the Festival. “We’re also proud to present commissioned compositions that add significantly to the body of music for smaller ensembles. “We are particularly delighted that distinguished pianist Peter Serkin will be making his Festival debut a nd performing in an unprecedented six concerts.” Composers with commissioned works being performed at the 2016 Festival include Danish composer Poul Ruders with Occam’s Razor for oboe and guitar and Israeli composer Gideon Lewensohn with his quintet for clarinet and string quartet. Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival - 2016 General Announcement page 1 of 4 Also, Elizabeth Ogonek, a young American composer and past participant of the Festival’s Young Composers String Quartet Project, will present a commissioned quartet for violin, clarinet, piano and percussion. Informative pre- and post-concert talks with composers of the commissioned works will take place one hour before or immediately following the respective performances. FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS Pianist and 2016 Artist-in-Residence Peter Serkin will make his Festival debut in six performances that will display his mastery across the full spectrum of chamber music expression. Serkin will perform Anton Webern’s arrangement of Schoenberg’s Chamber Symphony No. 1 in a collaboration with the Orion String Quartet, Busoni’s tour de force Fantasia contrappuntistica with his duo partner Julia Hsu and Bach’s Concerto for Two Pianos, BWV 1061, with Hsu.

(See Addendum 1 for dates, times and concert venues.) Represented in concerts throughout the Festival season will be great Baroque composers, including several members of the Bach family, Vivaldi, Boccherini, Telemann and Zelenka.

British music appears in 17th, 20th and 21st century works by Purcell, Elgar, Bridge, Britten and Oliver Knussen. In addition to the world premieres, nearly 50 works are scheduled for their first performances at the Festival. Additional repertoire will be announced in the coming months.

Notable music will include Bach’s sublime Cantata No. 82, “Ich habe genug,” BWV 82, sung by mezzo-soprano Kelley O’Connor and Brahms’ delightful Liebeslieder Waltzes with a quartet of dazzling singers and the spirited piano duo of Haochen Zhang and Pei-Yao Wang.

  • The 2018 Guide Festivals
    April 2018 The 2018 Guide Festivals FEATURE ARTICLE 10 Questions, Two (Very Different) Festivals Editor’s Note Our fifth annual Guide to Summer Festivals is our biggest yet, with some 85 annotated entries, plus our usual free access to the 1400 listings in the Musical America database. The details for the 85—dates, locations, artistic directors, programming, guest artists, etc.—have been provided by the festivals themselves, in response to a questionnaire sent to our list of Editor’s Picks. Those are determined by a number of factors: it’s hardly a surprise to see the big-budget events, such as Salzburg, Tanglewood, and Aspen, included. But budget is by no means the sole criterion. The 2018 Guide Programming, performers, range and type of events offered—all of these factor into the equation. For our feature article, we chose two highly regarded events and asked them one set of questions, just for the purposes of compare and contrast. Since George Loomis traveled to Ravenna last summer and knows Ojai well, we decided he was the perfect candidate to get the answers. Our hunch that the two couldn’t be more different turned out to be quite accurate: one takes place over a weekend, the over a two-month period; one is in the U.S., the other in Europe; one is rural, the other urban; one’s in a valley, the other by the sea; one focuses on contemporary fare, the other on traditional; one houses its artists in homes, the other in hotels; one is overseen by a man, the other by Festivals a woman; Ojai’s venues are primarily outdoor and strictly 20th century, Ravenna’s are mostly indoor and date as far back as the sixth century.
