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: Rossini & Brahms

Members of the Dover Quartet join other Festival artists in the youthfully exuberant, Classical-era Sonata a quattro No. 1, written by Rossini when he was 12 years old, and Brahms's sweeping String Sextet in G Major. Between the two works, the Festival presents the US premiere of a commissioned quintet by Finnish composer Outi Tarkiainen, who Gramophone notes "[fuses] jazz and classical idioms" and "draws on her Lapland roots and on the mystery and melancholy of life in the north."
