* Santa Fe Opera general director's experience accompanying family, friends laid foundation for career

SANTA FE In the late 1940s, Thomas Gaddes sang in the Wallsend Male Voice Choir. His wife, Emily, sang in various mixed choirs in the town in the north of England.

By the time he was 8, their youngest son, Richard, was playing piano, accompanying his father and Sunday evening dinner guests who sang at their home for fun.

"I was a good sight reader so we would often have musical dinners. That was how we entertained ourselves," said Gaddes. "Wallsend is a small town in Northumberland where music was a strong tradition."
