The Dream Team | November 4 and 5 – Santa Fe Pro Musica

The Dream Team | November 4 and 5

In one form or another Santa Fe Pro Musica has been providing music to the communities of northern New Mexico since 1977. And like any good book, Pro Musica has been built upon successive chapters, each one unique and each one contributing to an energetic and creative organization. For a fun description of Pro Musica’s journey please read “The Rise of a Roving Band of Troubadours.”

FROM OUR AUDIENCE
“I love listening to the Pro Musica Orchestra – the playing is so polished and transparent. A recent performance of Beethoven’s Pastorale [January 2016] was one of the best I’ve heard – the clarity of the instrumental voices was delightful. Hearing three of Beethoven’s piano concertos [April 2017] together was tremendous! Nadja’s Concert [September 2017] exceeded all anticipation. The Holberg Suite is a well-worn classical top-40 tune, but the Pro Musica performance was exciting, as if I was hearing it for the first time. And then came Piazzolla’s Four Seasons of Buenos Aires. What a performance, a delightful piece, what playing, and what energy! Thank you!”“Like many in the audience I was absolutely astounded by the recent [April 2017] SFPM performance of the Beethoven Piano Concertos with Anne-Marie McDermott. The delicate pianissimos, the perfectly articulated orchestral/piano transitions from fortissimo to pianissimo, the subtle phrasing of passages – I heard Beethoven in a way that I had never heard before.”

If you were among the 1,600 people who heard the Beethoven Piano Concertos, Part I then you know what the dream team of McDermott, Beethoven and Pro Musica is capable of. Make sure to reserve your seats for Beethoven Piano Concertos, Part II, coming up on November 4 and 5.
