Summer visitors and residents will enjoy a full concert schedule at the 39th annual Taos School of Music Summer Chamber Music Festival with 16 chamber music concerts, recitals and seminars. Nineteen exceptional student musicians will fine tune their musical skill. For a chance to understand the work and energy that goes into making beautiful chamber music performances, attend the informal open rehearsals and seminars, held at the Hotel St. Bernard, the school's home base in the village.
Audience members have the option of dining with the musicians and students prior to the programs.
Advance reservations are required for these popular and delicious dinners, prepared by French-born hotelier Jean Mayer. The non-alcohol dances run from 8 to 11 p.m. The barn dances were a huge hit during the summer of 2000 and this summer promises to be just as much fun. The restricted outdoor lighting and high altitude at the village make for great star-gazing opportunities. This summer the village is organizing three star parties.
