SANTA FE PRO MUSICA News:

SANTA FE — Santa Fe Pro Musica commemorates the joys and sorrows of the Easter season with its stirring HOLY WEEK concerts in the historic Loretto Chapel at 7 p.m. April 14, 15, and 16 at the Loretto Chapel 207 Old Santa Fe Trail, Santa Fe, NM 87501.

The Diderot String Quartet performs Haydn’s The Seven Last Words of Christ, a musical meditation on each of the seven last words or utterances of Christ. The core of the work is a sequence of seven prayerful, meditative instrumental sonatas framed by an introduction and an explosive conclusion (The Earthquake). Haydn remarked to a friend in 1787 that, “Each word is expressed by purely instrumental means in such a way as to make the most profound impression on even an inexperienced listener’s soul.” 

Tickets: $20 – $85 Santa Fe Pro Musica Box Office 505.988.4640; sfpromusica.org | Lensic.org  

About the Diderot String Quartet:

Named after the 18th-century French philosopher, the Diderot Quartet brings a fresh approach to works of the classical period masters. They came together in 2012, having first met at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and The Juilliard School. The four musicians share a background in historical performance and a passion for the string quartet genre—they found the thrill of exploring the quartet repertoire on period instruments to be irresistible. They have performed for concert series and music festivals across the U.S., served as faculty for Oberlin’s Baroque Performance Institute, and for five years were the quartet-in-residence at the Washington National Cathedral.
