Join Us For 2012 Season

EXTRAORDINARY CHAMBER MUSIC

Music from Angel Fire’s 2012 Season celebrates 29 years of bringing extraordinary chamber music to the magnificent Northern New Mexico communities of Angel Fire, Taos, Raton and Las Vegas. World renowned artists perform an impressive array of works from the great classical, romantic, baroque and contemporary masters. 2012 welcomes Festival favorites Ida Kavafian, Anne-Marie McDermott, Tara Helen O'Connor and Peter Wiley among many others.

ENGAGING CONVERSATIONS

The Closer Encounters Series engages you in an enlightening "behind the scenes" look at the artistic process in an open rehearsal setting. The Musical Conversation Series is hosted by Artistic Director Ida Kavafian at the United Church in Angel Fire and provides a deeper look into the music performed at these two popular concerts.

EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH

Young professionals from the famed Curtis Institute of Music, Philadelphia travel across rural Northern New Mexico presenting inspiring classroom concerts to local students through the Festival's Young Artist/Music in Our Schools program.

COMPOSER-IN-RESIDENCE

The Festival is proud to present a world premiere this Season by renowned composer, Steven Stucky. This commission is made possible through the generosity of the Bruce E. Howden, Jr. American Composers Project.
