From the WFMT Radio Network, a musical journey to the foothills of New Mexico’s Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Join us for thirteen new, music-filled hours from the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival.
Founded in 1972, the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival is one of the world’s leading performing arts festivals, earning both critical praise and dedicated audiences for its lasting commitment to tradition, artistic excellence, and vision. This series reflects the Festival’s high standards by offering a varied selection of superbly recorded concerts by the greatest of classical artists.
Each episode typically contains two or three full-length works representing chamber music's masterful repertoire. The Festival celebrates well-known core works, and remains dedicated to lesser-known composers and compositions, and to commissioning new works. These works come to life via a thoughtful mix of veteran performers and emerging artists.
The series host is long-time WFMT announcer Kerry Frumkin. Composer Marc Neikrug, the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival’s artistic director, provides insightful commentary.
