2007 − 2008 Fifteenth Anniversary Season
There is something different about making music in New Mexico — its endless vistas and open landscapes infuse creativity with a sense of spaciousness and possibility. For the past fourteen years the Taos Chamber Music Group has tapped into the Land of Enchantment by presenting the imaginative and inspirational performances for which it has become known. TCMG has historically sought out programming and partnerships that go beyond the classical music concert formula to redefine and enhance the very concept of chamber music.
In its fifteenth anniversary season, TCMG will offer a wide variety of programs that reflect the unique cultural diversity of its home in Taos as well as a deep connection with the land that surrounds us. Highlights include the return of the stellar American String Quartet, bringing classical music’s finest to Taos. A piece commissioned for TCMG’s anniversary by critically acclaimed composer Paul Fowler and a collaboration with Native American musician Robert Mirabal will combine improvised and composed music. Visual art will have a place in two programs, one in conjunction with an award winning film about listening to music, and another with music and photography inspired by nature.
Whether performing at the Taos Community Auditorium or the Harwood Museum, recreating the Baroque or reinventing the Contemporary, in large ensemble or solo, TCMG is dedicated to sharing with audiences a musical experience that is both intimate and powerful. As always, classical masterpieces will be combined with new and lesser known works performed by some of New Mexico’s finest musicians. And TCMG’s commitment to music education will continue to bring programs to hundreds of Taos County school children. This landmark season has something for everyone from the best in classical to outside−the−box collaborations. We invite you to be part of the magic of live chamber music!
Sincerely,
Nancy Laupheimer
Director, TCMG
