Welcome to our 40th Anniversary Season
2023–2024
Celebrating 40 years of bringing great music to life!
This season, we mark 40 years of live classical music, 40 years of star power onstage, and 40 years of caring for our musicians and our community. This is no small feat. But thanks to our loyal supporters, we are about to kick off yet another year of great music with our world-class orchestral musicians and a season to remember—our celebratory 40th Anniversary Season.

Experience a festive evening with good friends, fabulous food, premium wines, and wonderful holiday music at our annual Home for the Holidays fundraiser! Guitarist Pat Malone will entertain you while you indulge in passed hors d’ouvres and champagne during cocktail hour, and our popular mentor/mentee performance returns during dinner.
Be sure to partake in our highly anticipated gift certificate drawings and a live paddle bid in support of our award-winning music education programs, free concerts, and the ongoing operations of The Santa Fe Symphony. New this year, we have added an exciting wine-pull and holiday ornament sale—created by musicians from the Santa Fe Youth Symphony, hosted by Nicolle Maniaci, Principal Violin II, and James Holland, Cellist.
