The Santa Fe Symphony is a cornerstone of New Mexico’s classical music scene, founded in 1984 by local musicians under a cooperative governance model led by founder Greg Heltman. Today, the ensemble features 65 professional musicians and a volunteer chorus of 70+ singers, directed by Music Director Guillermo Figueroa and Choral Director Carmen Flórez-Mansi. In 2024, the orchestra merged with the Santa Fe Youth Symphony Association, strengthening its educational and community reach.
