The Santa Fe Symphony Orchestra and Chorus opens their 2026-2027 season with a sold-out concert on Sunday, Sept. 13, that pairs Ludwig van Beethoven鈥檚 Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, Op. 67 鈥� better known as 鈥淏eethoven鈥檚 Fifth鈥� 鈥� with Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky鈥檚 Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor, Op. 23. The season continues with nine more concerts, culminating with Giuseppe Verdi鈥檚 鈥淩equiem Mass鈥� on Saturday, May 15. All concerts will be performed at The Lensic Performing Arts Center.

鈥淎s always, when we plan the seasons, we strive to make a judicious combination of things that are very well known with other works that might be not as well known, or they鈥檙e new but very interesting,鈥� Guillermo Figueroa, the symphony鈥檚 principal conductor and music director, said. 鈥淥f course, there鈥檚 hardly anything better known than 鈥楤eethoven鈥檚 Fifth,鈥� so I thought that was a perfect way to begin the season, combined with one of the most popular piano concertos of all, by Tchaikovsky. I鈥檝e done these pieces together in the past at other orchestras, so I know it works really well, and, of course, it鈥檚 a great crowd-pleaser.鈥�

This will be Figueroa鈥檚 10th and final season as the symphony鈥檚 music director. He began his tenure in 2016 following a nearly three-year search.

鈥淎s Music Director Guillermo Figueroa鈥檚 final full season, each concert is a celebration of his lasting legacy,鈥� the Santa Fe Symphony said in a statement.

Figueroa was modest about his role in shaping the symphony鈥檚 programming and identity, emphasizing the collaborative nature of the institution.

鈥淲e have a programming committee, and we meet months in advance of every season and discuss ad nauseam all the programs. The discussions get very, very animated, sometimes very intense, because everybody wants to make sure that their pet pieces are programmed,鈥� Figueroa said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a difficult process, but it鈥檚 one that is very rewarding, because I think we come up with terrific programs in the end. But most importantly, the musicians are really invested in the programs.鈥�

Figueroa said the programming committee includes musicians from the orchestra, in addition to board members and staff.

鈥淚 think it鈥檚 very empowering for the musicians, and it鈥檚 a really, really good process,鈥� Figueroa said. 鈥淓ven though it鈥檚 tedious, it works.鈥�

The new season will shine a spotlight on the chorus.

鈥淥ne of the big emphases this whole season is to give an even bigger role to the chorus,鈥� Figueroa said. 鈥淲e have a fantastic chorus led by Carmen Fl贸rez-Mansi, and they always sing in every season, of course, but this year they鈥檙e going all out. They鈥檙e doing something that is very familiar and beloved, which is (George Frideric Handel鈥檚) 鈥楳essiah,鈥� of course, but we combine that in our October program with a really fascinating work, which is 鈥楾he Bells鈥� by (Sergei) Rachmaninoff.鈥�

Figueroa said most people associate Rachmaninoff with his piano concertos. Fewer are familiar with 鈥淭he Bells,鈥� a choral symphony set to the words of Edgar Allan Poe, in which Rachmaninoff uses tubular bells, a celesta and a glockenspiel to evoke the sleigh bells, wedding bells, alarm bells and funeral bells of Poe鈥檚 poem.

鈥淚t鈥檚 very colorful, if slightly gloomy, but that鈥檚 how Poe鈥檚 poems are, usually, and it鈥檚 an incredible work,鈥� Figueroa said. 鈥溾�� That, to me, is a huge highlight of the season.鈥�

The orchestra will perform 鈥淭he Bells鈥� on Oct. 18 as part of a Halloween-themed concert, which will also feature Franz Schubert鈥檚 鈥淯nfinished鈥� symphony and Camille Saint-Sa毛ns鈥� 鈥淒anse macabre, Op. 40,鈥� a piece meant to evoke dancing skeletons.

The symphony will then perform Handel鈥檚 鈥淢essiah鈥� twice in November and two winter concerts 鈥� 鈥淪ounds of the Season鈥� and 鈥淗oliday Movie Magic鈥� 鈥� in December.

鈥淗oliday Movie Magic鈥� will feature music from the soundtracks of classic holiday films, including 鈥淭he Polar Express,鈥� 鈥淗ome Alone,鈥� 鈥淚t鈥檚 a Wonderful Life,鈥� 鈥淎 Charlie Brown Christmas,鈥� 鈥淔rozen鈥� and 鈥淓lf.鈥� 鈥淪ounds of the Season鈥� will include non-holiday-related songs, as well.

鈥淔or 鈥楽ounds of the Season鈥� in the past, we鈥檝e mostly done things that are Christmas-related. 鈥� This year, we decided to change it and not focus on holiday themes particularly, but rather the (winter) season. For instance 鈥� we鈥檒l be playing 鈥榃inter鈥� from (Antonio) Vivaldi鈥檚 鈥楾he Four Seasons.鈥� So, it鈥檚 a little bit more of a classical program, but all with works that reflect the season of winter in one way or another. So, we鈥檙e very excited about that. And in that concert, we will have the members of the Santa Fe Youth Symphony join us onstage.鈥�

Members of the Santa Fe Youth Symphony will sing in the March 21 鈥淏eethoven and Korngold鈥� concert, as well, performing the overture to Anton铆n Dvo艡谩k鈥檚 鈥淐arnival.鈥� That concert will also mark the Santa Fe Symphony debut of internationally renowned violinist Benjamin Beilman, who will play Erich Wolfgang Korngold鈥檚 Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35.

鈥淚鈥檓 particularly excited about working again with Benjamin Beilman. He鈥檚 an extraordinary violinist,鈥� Figueroa said. 鈥淗e鈥檚 a former pupil of Ida Kavafian, incidentally, at the Curtis Institute. So, it鈥檒l be nice to have them both in back-to-back concerts.鈥�

Kavafian will play alongside Figueroa himself for the April 11 program, 鈥淕uillermo and Ida.鈥� They will play together on Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart鈥檚 鈥淪infonia Concertante,鈥� with Kavafian on violin and Figueroa on viola. Kavafian will then perform the regional premiere of Richard Danielpour鈥檚 鈥淔iat Lux,鈥� a work she premiered last year at the Curtis Institute, where she teaches.

鈥淎 friend of mine for many, many years, Ida Kavafian is one of the preeminent violinists of our time,鈥� Figueroa said. 鈥溾�� I鈥檝e known her since our teenage days at Interlochen鈥檚 music camp, and then Juilliard.鈥�

鈥淒efinitely buy your tickets early,鈥� Figueroa said. 鈥淲e鈥檝e been doing very well. We did very well last year with our sales, and we鈥檙e very happy with the response from the audience.鈥�
