Musicians of the Orchestra

As a New Mexican institution, not only does seven-eighths of the operating budget go back into state residents and businesses, but The Santa Fe Symphony itself is comprised solely of New Mexico-resident musicians. To this we add a European operating model in which the members of our orchestra, represented by The Symphony's Musician Steering Committee, hold artistic control over The Symphony's artistic decisions and are represented at every level of the Board and committee structures. After their first year, many of our musicians become fully-tenured voting members of the organization, participating in artistic decisions.

Our musicians are the core of this organization—the ones who bring music to life! Please consider adopting an available musician for yourself or a loved one this season! When you Adopt-A-Musician, you honor each instrumentalist and chorister's exceptional dedication. Your adoption helps sustain high standards of professional support for our tenured orchestra members and outstanding singers.

When you adopt a musician you honor our individual musicians’ exceptional dedication and effort while helping to sustain high standards of professional support for our tenured musicians members. You will be introduced to your adopted musician and invited to attend an orchestra dress rehearsal. Sponsors of principal musicians may sit within the instrument section—as close as possible to their musician.Your participation includes the opportunity to be photographed with your adopted musician(s). For one year following the date of your adoption, your photo will appear in The Symphony Program Book on the Adopt-A-Musician page. An acknowledgement of your participation will also appear on the Contributors’ pages in the Program Book. Some benefits are temporarily unavailable due to New Mexico CDC COVID-19 restrictions.
