    Presented by Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church

    February 3, 2012

    The 2011-2012 MasterWorks Concert Series will feature the Tucson Symphony Orchestra recreating music composed from the 17th through 21st century.



    The musical forms introduced by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, and generally referred to as "Classical," will be heard throughout the season. More varied than a festival of jazz, blues and rock, this series features five centuries of great music.



    For the month commemorating the statehood designation for Arizona, "American Portraits" provides another example of the classical music rubric - an amazing and exciting pallet of music. Copland's "Three Latin-American Sketches" could cause a re-titling of the evening's program to "The Americas' Portraits." The balance of the program is made more folk-like with the Concerto for Stephen Seifert's Mountain Dulcimer. A newly commissioned work by Connie Ellisor will be played by Seifert. The previously heard "Blackberry Winter," also composed by Ellisor, provides great anticipation for this new marriage of the Dulcimer and the orchestra.
