Santa Fe Pro Music was founded in 1980 by Music Director Tom O’Connor and Associate Artistic Director Carol Redman. Since then the group has achieved a rare feat; garnering national recognition while maintaining impressive dedication to the Santa Fe community. Initially, Pro Musica’s repertoire was limited to Baroque compositions performed on period instruments. Today the ensemble performs a wide range of material for chamber ensemble, chamber orchestra and large-scale oratorio ensemble from the past 400 years.

The group frequently hosts internationally-acclaimed classical artists (Yo-Yo Ma, Ian Bostridge and Lang Lang, among others) and the Baroque Christmas concert has become a beloved Santa Fe tradition. Tickets can range from the wonderfully inexpensive to a little pricier, but rest assured, the music is worth it, cheap seats or not.
