A look at three upcoming Performance Santa Fe fall 2022 concerts featuring Hélène Grimaud, the Anat Cohen Quartetinho, and the Charles Lloyd Ocean Trio.
One of Santa Fe’s longest-running musical organizations brings artists from around the globe to the City Different. Performance Santa Fe’s fall performances offer a rich diversity of music, with styles spanning centuries and continents presented in venues across the city.
Hélène Grimaud
Sunday, October 2, 4 pm MT
Lensic Performing Arts Center, Santa Fe
Known for her poetic expression and peerless technical control, French pianist Hélène Grimaud’s performance draws from her album, Memory, which explores music’s ability to bring the past back to life. Selections of evanescent miniatures by Chopin, Debussy, Satie, Schumann, and Valentin Silvestrov, in the pianist’s own words, “conjure atmospheres of fragile reflection, a mirage of what was—or what could have been.”
Anat Cohen Quartetinho
Friday, October 20, 7:30 pm MT
Lensic Performing Arts Center, Santa Fe
Clarinetist Anat Cohen returns to Santa Fe and continues to experiment and reinvent her music even after three Grammy nominations and fifteen consecutive Best Clarinetist Awards from the Jazz Journalists Association. The Anat Cohen Quartetinho features Vitor Gonçalves on piano, Tal Mashiach on bass, and James Shipp on percussion. All virtuosos, these musicians bring the perspectives and styles of Brazil, Israel, and the United States to create a genre-bending exploration of traditional and modern music. Shaped around the “lyric beauty of [Anat’s] tone” (Chicago Tribune), this performance will bring an inventive fusion of jazz from around the world.
Charles Lloyd Ocean Trio
Saturday, November 12, 7:30 pm MT
Lensic Performing Arts Center, Santa Fe
Six decades into his professional music career, saxophonist, flutist, composer, and bandleader Charles Lloyd shows no signs of slowing down. Lloyd combines post-bop, free jazz, psychedelic rock, folk, and traditional music in his original compositions to form “a strange and beautiful distillation of the American experience, part abandoned and wild, part immensely controlled and sophisticated” (New York Times). Lloyd’s unique ability to weave many genres together, evidenced through collaborations with diverse artists such as Norah Jones, Willie Nelson, and the Beach Boys, has led him to widespread crossover acclaim. Returning to the Lensic following a 2016 performance at the New Mexico Jazz Festival, Lloyd returns alongside his Ocean Trio with guitarist Anthony Wilson and pianist Gerald Clayton.
