Санта Фе ждёт вас

Санта-Фе (Santa Fe), город в Аргентине. Административный центр провинции Санта-Фе. 244,6 тыс. жителей (1970). Порт на р. Парана, в устье Рио-Саладо (доступен для морских судов, грузооборот 1,4 млн. т в 1969), один из главных по вывозу зерна.

“He’s the king,” Outformation guitarist Sam Holt said in a recent phone interview. “He taught me not to be scared, that everyone is equal and anyone can have his (tail) handed to him.”

Though life on the road for an upstart band can be tough, Holt says the collective inspiration from Rickles and other...

Blending Styles

Art that moves along a spectrum from completely abstract to sensitive portraits is being featured in two artists’ shows opening simultaneously today at LewAllen Contemporary on West Palace Avenue. The work of Sharon Booma and Bernard Chaet, stemming from different generations and different painting philosophies, nevertheless showcases the importance of basic talent and desire in art.

Awarded top prizes and sought by collectors, Booma’s complex abstract paintings seek a balance between chaos and order using color, texture and repetition of form. What she’s looking for is a state of...

‘Phenomenal’ Pianist To Play With Orchestra

Santa Fe Symphony Orchestra & Chorus general director Greg Heltman remembers how awestruck he felt when he first heard Spencer Myer play the piano.

“I had been invited to attend the finals at the American Pianists Association competition in 2006 in Indianapolis,” Heltman said. “Spencer Myer performed a solo recital. He played the Barber Piano Sonata. The only word I can use to describe his playing is phenomenal.”

Myer won one of two fellowships awarded at the competition, which included a $75,000 cash prize, a recording contract and performance dates. Heltman didn’t book Myer to play...

Rhapsody in Black

James Baldwin’s “Sonny’s Blues” navigates two sides of the African-American experience: assimilation versus life as a perpetual outcast.

The Bay Area’s Word for Word Performing Arts Company is bringing one of the author’s finest early works to Santa Fe. The performance opens at the Lensic Performing Arts Center at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 12.

Da’Mon Vann plays the title role in “Sonny’s Blues,” a tormented jazz pianist who has rejected a conventional life.

Sonny’s brother, a schoolteacher and family man, is the nameless narrator who provides the stage direction through the original...

Stringdusters Bring Infamous Act Back

One of the better compliments bass player Travis Book heard recently came from a barista inside a hotel lobby.

Book, his band mates from The Infamous Stringdusters and other musicians were jamming inside a Tacoma, Wash., hotel’s hallways in preparation for a bluegrass festival there when their music caught the ear of a 27-year-old working behind a coffee bar.

He told the band that he dug the sounds that filled the lobby that day — quite a compliment from a young man who up until that point only had ears for hip-hop.

“He said that’s all he listened to,” said Book during a recent phone...

Buffalo Thunder

It’s hard to imagine the extent by which New Mexico’s largest destination resort-hotel, scheduled to open August 9, 2008, will exceed expectations. But Buffalo Thunder Resort in Pojoaque, New Mexico may just accomplish what most four-star resorts endeavor to do: provide an unparallel, unforgettable experience that cannot be replicated anywhere else. The magnitude of the plans, the quality and details of the construction and design, and the presence of Native American culture and art has yet to be seen in the hospitality industry.

Located on 587 acres of tribal land, 12 miles north of...

Top Santa Fe Breakfast Spots

For those of us who eat breakfast out, especially (like mom said) if we consider it the most important meal of the day, we are picky about our restaurants. For both locals and visitors, the criteria can be the fresh, organic ingredients, the inventiveness or depth of the menu, the atmosphere, the price, or just a place that’s so unassuming and convenient that it feels like home. No single eatery combines it all, and biases are highly personal, but the list below, in no special order, shouldn’t disappoint. After breaking bread with fellow dawn-worshippers for 25 years, I’ve seen some...

Abiquiú, a small town about 50 miles northwest of Santa Fe, is best known today as the home of the artist Georgia O’Keeffe. Once you visit, you’ll understand why she loved and painted the landscape of her adopted home for so many years. The haunting beauty of the tiny adobe village, the majesty of the surrounding mountains, and the astonishing grandeur of the nearby red rock canyons is more than enough to keep any artist enthralled for a lifetime.
