The 28th annual Summer Festival season opens July 13 under the direction of music director Joshua Habermann. The five week festival consists of five programs and thirteen performances returning to familiar venues and a first ever performance in Linda Durham Contemporary Art. Opening with Song of Songs, a program conceived for the soaring acoustic of the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi. The season continues with Mystics and Mavericks at the intimate Loretto Chapel and The Romantic Guitar at the Scottish Rite Center. We also present HeArt Songs, a program of art songs based on the theme of love presented by members of the Desert Chorale at Linda Durham Contemporary Art.
We close our season on August 13 with a gala performance of the Vespers of 1610 by Claudio Monteverdi with chamber orchestra at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi in honor of the 400th anniversary of the composition of the work and in celebration of the 400th anniversary of the founding of the Diocese of Santa Fe (also in 1610).
Gifts of any amount are appreciated and help support the many artistic and outreach programs sponsored by the Desert Chorale.
