Concert Calendar

A festive program combining classical, Spanish, Latin, popular, jazz and folk musical influences kicks off the season with Chick Corea’s Trio for flute, bassoon and piano, Maximo Diego Pujol’s Dos Aires Candomberos for flute and marimba, Manuel de Falla’s Seven Popular Spanish Songs, Vaughan Williams Suite de Ballet for flute and piano, songs by Ricky Ian Gordon, and Mosaics for flute, bassoon and marimba by Eric Ewazen who will be at the performances to introduce the piece.

Compositions written with children in mind that have become classics for those of all ages are featured in the woodwind quintet version of Maurice Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite and a collaborative presentation of Peter and the Wolf with Taos Youth Ballet.

TCMG brings back music from past seasons, including Chan Ka Nin’s Among Friends, David Lang’s Sweet Air with a film by Jake Magee, and Johannes Brahms’ Piano Trio, opus 8, as well as Philippe Gaubert’s Medaille Antiques.

Adding to the sparkle and magic of the holiday season, TCMG presents an all-Mozart program of his Divertimento in Eb Major for string trio, Flute Quartet in D Major and Duo in Bb Major for violin and viola.

Music that motors includes Different Trains for string quartet and pre-recorded sound by Steve Reich, Movin' On for solo flute by Rhonda Larson, and the world premiere of La Prose du Transsiberien by Matthew Suttor (Director of the Center for Theatrical Sound Design and Music at the Yale School of Drama) with performance artist Douglas Fitch.

The acclaimed string quartet is joined by TCMG cellist Sally Guenther for one of the greatest chamber music works of all time, Franz Schubert’s C Major String Quintet. Joseph Haydn’s ebullient String Quartet, Op. 54, no. 1 and Leo Janacek’s stirring First String Quartet round out the program.

A highly requested TCMG encore of cello music features four of New Mexico's finest cellists performing works for multiple cellos from Bach to Guns N' Roses.

Please note change of time for this program to two performances on Sunday (none on Saturday)!
