Winds and Brass: Tucson Symphony Orchestra

The Tucson Symphony Orchestra, the oldest continuously running performing arts organization in the Southwest, highlights its wind and brass sections in this concert. Founded in 1928, the orchestra performs over 60 concerts each season, spanning classical, jazz, and contemporary works. The TSO also commissions new works and reaches over 40,000 school children annually through educational programming.

This performance showcases the power and nuance of the orchestra's wind and brass players, drawing from a repertoire that includes classical, big-band, folk, jazz, pop, and mariachi styles. The TSO's history includes performances at venues like the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall, and its musicians are part of a tradition that began with 60 volunteer players in 1929.
