Concert Series at the Lensic
2026-2027 Concert Series
From the first down beat in September to the closing note in May, The Santa Fe Symphony’s 2026-2027 Season is designed to thrill and move audiences! As Music Director Guillermo Figueroa’s final full season, each concert is a celebration of his lasting legacy!
Highlights of the season include masterworks from some of history’s greatest composers, such as Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, Schubert’s “Unfinished” Symphony, Korngold’s Violin Concerto, Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony, Grieg’s Piano Concerto, Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances, and Verdi’s Requiem! The season also includes annual audience favorite concerts like Handel’s Messiah and Sounds of the Season. On Christmas Eve, treat the whole family to a festive trip through Hollywood with Holiday Movie Magic.
Joining Maestro Figueroa and The Symphony is a lineup of stellar soloists and guest artists, including violinists Benjamin Beilman & Ida Kavafian, pianists Inna Faliks & Anna Geniushene, and stars from the world of opera. Our Principal Trumpet, Brynn Marchiando, takes center stage to perform Böhme’s Trumpet Concerto. If you enjoy choral music, choral works from Brahms and Rachmaninoff will highlight the incredible Santa Fe Symphony Chorus, led by Choral Director Carmen Flórez-Mansi.
