Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival

The Festival draws inspiration from its namesake hometown, which is famously and affectionately known as the City Different. And things are different here, both in Santa Fe and at the Festival.

12:00pm: Jamie Barton & Julius Drake Recital

Mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton—hailed as "a once-in-a-generation voice" by Opera magazine—makes her highly anticipated Festival debut in a recital with renowned pianist Julius Drake. Barton's passion for telling stories through song provides the vibrant underpinning for an enthralling and eclectic program of works by Dvorak, Ives, Duparc, and Sibelius.

The dramatic dynamism of the duo form is spotlighted in the first half of this program, which features two vastly different works: Mozart's perfectly crafted Duo in G Major, performed by violinist William Hagen and violist Milena Pajaro-van de Stadt, and Kodaly's thrilling and demanding Duo for Violin and Cello, played by Leila Josefowicz and Paul Watkins. Mozart is featured again in the second half, as his exquisite Clarinet Quintet showcases the soaring artistry of clarinetist David Shifrin and the Escher String Quartet.
