Week 10 of the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival’s 2026 radio series begins as Chad Hoopes and the Dover Quartet’s second violinist, Bryan Lee, play one of Bach’s most cherished works: the incomparable Concerto in D Minor for Two Violins, known as the “Bach Double.” Soprano Liv Redpath and her frequent collaborator, pianist George Fu, perform a pair of youthful songs by Debussy. The hour concludes with one of those rarely performed pieces the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival is known for. The musician, composer, and pedagogue Frank Bridge began in the pastoral English sound world and evolved into what Festival artistic director Marc Neikrug calls “his own true voice, his own world.” Pianist Orion Weiss, violinist Jennifer Frautschi, and cellist Felix Fan give a breathtaking performance of Bridge’s gnarly and brilliant 1929 Piano Trio No. 2.
