Music from Angel Fire Presents its 27th Season!
Music lovers and international artists will once again assemble in the Northern New Mexico mountain communities of Angel Fire, Taos, Raton and Las Vegas for Music from Angel Fire’s 27th Season. Artists will delight audiences with enchanting chamber music from Friday, August 20 through Sunday, September 5 in 14 concerts featuring works from the Baroque to the Contemporary periods. 2010 artists will include the Miami String Quartet, violinists Ida and Ani Kavafian and Pamela Frank, pianist Anne-Marie McDermott, cellist Peter Wiley, flutist Tara Helen O’Connor, and Guillermo Figueroa on violin and viola.
This year two exciting pre-season events will be held to benefit Music from Angel Fire. “Fiddlefest – An Evening with the Kavafian Sisters and Friends” will be held at Robertson and Sons Violin Shop in Albuquerque on August 14 and “Soirée Around the World– An Evening of Romantic Salon Music” will be held at the elegant El Monte Sagrado in Taos on August 18. These events will be the perfect occasion to meet and greet Festival artists in an intimate setting for a special performance followed by a wine and hors d’oeuvres reception.
The Festival’s Season will open on August 20 in Angel Fire thrilling audiences with performances of world-class chamber music and special events across Northern New Mexico. Festival programs this year will celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Robert Schumann, one of the greatest composers of the Romantic era. This anniversary inspired the concept of the broader theme of the 2010 Season, The Leipzig Romantics: The Relationship between Clara and Robert Schumann and their protégé Brahms. Festival Artistic Director Ida Kavafian will host two enlightening evenings of “Musical Conversations” at the United Church of Angel Fire on August 22 and September 2. Two “Closer Encounters” on Friday, August 20 and Wednesday, August 25 will provide the public with an insider’s view of rehearsals– up close and personal. They will be informal, fun, educational and free! The beautiful and historic Shuler Theater will once again be the setting for the Complimentary Community Concert in Raton on August 24, and the Las Vegas concert will be held in the Ilfeld Auditorium on the campus of New Mexico Highlands University on August 27. The annual all Baroque concert on Wednesday, September 1 will be just one of the Season’s concerts performed at the Taos Center for the Arts. The Festival’s Salon Concert will provide experiences from the sublime to the ridiculous! In addition to time-honored musical selections, hilarity will ensue in this crowd pleasing event which will be followed by the annual Southwestern Art Auction held at the beautiful new Grand Hall at the Angel Fire Resort Country Club on Sunday, August 29. The Silent Auction will be free and open to the public. Tickets can be purchased for the dinner and Live Auction. Don’t miss your chance to participate in the “Music from Angel Fire Uncorked” Raffle Ticket for a chance to win a $5,500 Napa Valley wine tasting trip. The drawing will be held at the closing concert of the season at the Angel Fire Community Center on September 5th.
The Festival will proudly present the World Premiere of a new work by the 2010 Composer-in-Residence Lowell Liebermann – commissioned by Music from Angel Fire and funded in part by the Bruce E. Howden, Jr. American Composers Project. Mr. Liebermann's music is known for its technical command and audience appeal. Among his many awards is a Charles Ives Fellowship from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters as well as awards from ASCAP and BMI.
Exceptionally talented young artists from the famed Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia will be broadening their concert experience and repertoire by performing in Festival concerts as a part of the “Young Artist Program,” now in its twelfth year. The astounding talent of these young artists will also be shared with school children in 30 classroom concerts, demonstrations and interactive lectures in communities across Northern New Mexico though the Festival’s “Music in Our Schools” program which enriches the lives of New Mexico students immeasurably.
The 2010 Season is presented in part by the McCune Charitable Foundation, the Albert I. Pierce Foundation, the Whited Foundation, the Phillips Foundation, Healy Foundation, the BNSF Foundation, the Hubbard Broadcasting Foundation, Questa Mine, International Bank, Bank of America, First National Bank of NM, Valley Market of Angel Fire, the Angel Fire Resort, Phil Long Toyota, El Monte Sagrado Living Resort and Spa, Robertson & Sons Violin Shop, the Village of Angel Fire and San Miguel County Lodgers' Tax, the Town of Taos, New Mexico Arts, a division of the Dept. of Cultural Affairs, the National Endowment for the Arts and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
