Offering a wealth of variety, the 2020 repertoire will include compositions from the eighteenth through the twentieth centuries. Audiences will hear renowned musicians perform works by Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy, Liszt, Mozart, as well as an extract of “For the Love of Bees” by composer Anna Rubin. Actress Pamela Fields will tell the story of the magical powers of the honeybee. Navajo classical pianist, Connor Chee, will present several of his compositions which will highlight the richness of his Navajo heritage. Elizabeth Peña will present two poems of “Platero y Yo”, the story of a small donkey who lived with his poet master in the village of Moguer in Spain. Pianist Sandrine Erdely-Sayo will perform pieces by Chopin and Liszt, as well as Spanish music. Soprano Barbara Di Toro will open the festival with “You’ll Never Walk Alone” from Carousel.

“We have been very lucky to be able to present the Festival despite this pandemic”, says Artistic Director Sandrine Erdely-Sayo, “and this difficult time makes us realize even more the importance of the social, political and psychological functions of music.”

While these performances are free, a $20 donation is appreciated. Fifty percent of the donations received during the Festival will go to two non-profits on the Navajo Reservation in Arizona.
