The world-renowned violinist Ida Kavafian drops in to discuss Tashi, Takemitsu, teaching and more!

New Mexico can claim an important role in the career of Ida Kavafian. Every summer, the acclaimed violinist travels here from her home on the East Coast. First, she performs as part of the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival and from there she heads north to lead Music From Angel Fire, intimate concerts in the mountain communities of Northern New Mexico. The 2019 season, August 16-September 1, will be Ida's 35th as Artistic Director.
