Musicians: Friends of Chamber Music – Jonathon Winter, violin & Christina Ebersohl-Van Scyoc, viola

Two instruments, five composers, and one very curious cat. The duet’s program leaps from the lyrical duos of Sibelius, Mozart, and Martinů, to Ysaÿe’s commanding solo voice and Marek Harris’s delightfully feline Les Rêves du chat. From “zoomies” to string duo grandeur, it’s a musical menagerie of imagination and charm.

We continue our chamber orchestra series with a program of Romantic masterworks centered on the "B’s"—Brahms and Bruch. Beloved violinist Edward Dusinberre of the Takács Quartet joins us for Bruch’s iconic Violin Concerto. The evening also features Brahms’ lush Serenade in D, offering an intimate journey through the Romantic era.

Since 1992, the Music Guild of New Mexico (MGNM), formerly known as the New Mexico Symphony Guild (NMSG), held an annual concerto competition for young musicians in our state. This event is named for Jackie McGehee, a long-time NMSG/MGNM member and past president of the NMSG, who spearheaded and underwrote the event at its beginning and continues to underwrite the program. This event has become one of the premier competitions in the state and provides monetary awards for the winners and opportunities to perform with a professional orchestra
