Conductor Mei-Ann Chen returns to Santa Fe for this concert of orchestral music by Jennifer
Higdon, Osvaldo Golijov, and Dvořák, and a new concerto written by and starring double bassist
Xavier Foley.

Stefan M. Dettlinger of Mannheimer Morgen describes Mei-Ann Chen: “Her conducting has magical effects on the elasticity and flexibility of the overall sound, which springs, breathes and expresses itself.”

“The double-bass world could use Xavier Foley. At 21, he’s a standout player …. But he’s also a right spark of a composer, and, to judge from the premiere of his ‘Zalistar’ Trio, a musician who hears borders between styles as limitation best ignored.”— Peter Dobrin, The Philadelphia Inquirer
