A curve in the road reveals an expansive landscape sliced open by the Taos Gorge which kindles a spark that infuses your Taos experience with awe and beauty and takes your breath away. Add fresh mountain air, vast starlit night skies, and the ever present force of Taos Mountain. Then add a collection of inspired people who thrive in the environment, building that spark into their own creations. Take a deep breath – slow down and open your senses. Rich in the arts and earthly delights with access to the great and sometimes rugged outdoors, Taos holds something for everyone.

Whether it is your first visit or your 27th, the Taos spark is the perfect catalyst for inspiration and expression. The musicians who perform in the Taos Concert Series of Music from Angel Fire carry that spirit into their playing. It calls them back year after year. It creates a framework in which they inspire each other and their audiences.

Ida Kavafian, Artistic Director of the Festival, understands the special quality of northern New Mexico. She recently told a new Festival participant “You will find Taos and Angel Fire magical and unspoiled once you are there. Very unpretentious in addition to gorgeous. The music and musicians are both superb and the camaraderie unique.”

The Taos Concert Series of Music from Angel Fire will be performed on August 21 & 28 and September 1 & 4, 2010 at the Taos Center for the Arts (TCA). We hope this will be a great opportunity for more Taos residents to spend time with the artists and become a part of the Festival “family”.

Music from Angel Fire is recognized as one of America’s premier repertory festivals for chamber music. The summer of 2010 will mark Music from Angel Fire’s 27th Season of exquisite, world-class chamber music in northern New Mexico. Beginning on August 20 and continuing through September 5 more than 35 international artists will perform an impressive array of works from the great classical, romantic, baroque and contemporary masters. The Festival will present 15 concerts in the beautiful New Mexico mountain communities of Angel Fire, Taos, Raton and Las Vegas. Tickets range from $20 - $35.
