2025-2026 Concert Series


Packed with thrilling and innovative programs, Music Director Guillermo Figueroa and The Santa Fe Symphony have an absolutely brilliant season planned for 2025-2026. From its breathtaking start in September through its “cast of 1,000” season finale in May,
nine magnificent subscription concerts are planned, each one a performance designed to sparkle with joy and delight while dazzling your imagination.

Highlights include perennial audience favorites such as Symphonic Dances from Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story, Dvorak’s New World Symphony, and Rachmaninoff’s beloved Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Our programs also include Moncayo’s Huapango, performed side-by-side with The Santa Fe Youth Symphony Orchestra! Finally, our season concludes with Carl Orff’s masterpiece, Carmina Burana, featuring a trio of stellar soloists and the full membership of The Santa Fe Symphony Orchestra & Chorus.

The Symphony’s 42nd Season is overflowing with fabulous guest artists such as violinist Alexi Kenney, percussionist Svet Stoyanov, Cliburn Gold Medal-winning pianist Olga Kern, and the multiple GRAMMY®-award-winning cellist David Finckel, vocalists from the Santa Fe Opera Apprentice Program and soloists from The Santa Fe Symphony Orchestra & Chorus! This season also features a special one night only “add-on” performance on Dec. 27 with Nosotros, the nation’s top Latin dance band — and subscribers have priority access to seats!
