Join us For Our Spectacular 52nd Season

The Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival is one of the most respected and renowned chamber music festivals in the world, and part of its allure, for audiences and musicians alike, is that it draws inspiration from its namesake hometown, which is famously and affectionately known as the City Different.

6:00 pm - 7:30 pm - Dvořák Dumky Trio at New Mexico Museum of Art

Five mesmerizing musicians—pianists Juho Pohjonen and Orion Weiss, violinist Paul Huang, and cellists Nicholas Canellakis and Mark Kosower—come together in various pairings for this wonderfully intimate program, which begins with a lesser-known gem—the Serenade for Two Cellos and Piano by the 19th-century Italian cello virtuoso Carlo Alfredo Piatti—and includes Beethoven’s masterful Violin Sonata in C Minor, which has the same key and intensity found in some of the composer’s most dramatic large-scale works, plus Dvořák’s beloved and emotionally complex Dumky Trio.

PIATTI Serenade for Two Cellos and Piano

BEETHOVEN Violin Sonata in C Minor, Op. 30, No. 2
