Experience an intimate afternoon of classical music with the Santa Fe Community Orchestra Chamber Players at a free chamber music concert. Enjoy Ottorino Respighi’s Wind Quintet in G minor and Johannes Brahms’ String Quintet in F major (Op. 88) at the Sagrado Theater at Christ Church Santa Fe.

Ottorino Respighi’s Wind Quintet in G Minor is an early chamber work composed during his formative years as a composer. The piece reflects Respighi’s solid grounding in classical forms and his interest in exploring the expressive potential of wind instruments.

Johannes Brahms’ String Quintet in F Major, Op. 88, composed in 1882, is a masterpiece of chamber music that demonstrates his late-period mastery of form, structure, and expressive depth. This work is written for a traditional string quintet ensemble: two violins, two violas, and a cello. Brahms himself referred to the quintet as one of his finest compositions, and it holds a special place in the chamber music repertoire.

Our musicians are made up of community members from Santa Fe, Los Alamos, LasVegas, Taos, and beyond.  The majority of our members spend their working lives in other professions, from lawyers to teachers to doctors to scientists and engineers. Music is a passionate pursuit for us, and we are excited to share our love for these works with the community.

Donations are always appreciated, either at the door or at sfco.org/donate.
