A free introduction to the earthly delights of the genre!

Featuring Cármelo de los Santos, violin, and Natasha Stojanovska, piano, with Oliver Prezant

PLACITAS: Listen here…and here…and here! It’s fascinating to listen closely and to watch the way musicians work together when they play chamber music. The intimate dialog between instruments, the shifting roles of leading and following, the whispers of tenderness, the thunderings of passion, the contrasts of character, and the boldness of individual expression are on full display in this marvelous genre where musicians meet, person to person, in the music that they share with you.

Your host for this exploration is Oliver Prezant, whose engaging talks for the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival and the Santa Fe Opera have introduced thousands of people to the richly rewarding experience of listening deeply to classical music. The musicians you’ll hear are two of New Mexico’s finest, both internationally known: Cármelo de los Santos, violin, and Natasha Stojanovska, piano. The music we’ll hear is César Franck’s Violin Sonata, a Romantic-era favorite that is sure to delight.

Join us to drink deeply and heartily from this wonderful well, and bring a friend… you’ll be glad you did!
