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.

Schedule of Events

6pm: Handel: Water Music

In his first-ever Festival appearance, Santa Fe Opera Music Director Harry Bicket leads an ensemble of Opera musicians in music from Handel's regal Water Music, which was originally performed on the River Thames for King George I and went on to enthrall audiences over the centuries with its enchanting melodies, spirited rhythms, and vibrant orchestral colors.
