鈥淎rt teaches nothing, except the significance of life.鈥
鈥 Author Henry Miller
Henry Miller wasn鈥檛 overstating the impact of the arts.
A play, a piece of music, a dance can bring endless joy, deep sorrow, full laughs, and profound insights.
And that is what in store for you with the performing arts that are on 蜜柚直播 stages through December.
There鈥檚 no way one can do it all. So we鈥檝e asked fans and experts what their must-sees are. And we weighed in ourselves,
But don’t limit yourself to our suggestions: go to and see what else is happening in the Old Pueblo.
World/pop music
Who could turn down Melissa Etheridge? The Fox 蜜柚直播 brings her 鈥淵es I Am鈥 25th anniversary tour here and we cannot wait. (Fox 蜜柚直播, Sept. 16.)
Ram贸n Ayala is coming to the AVA.
Norte帽o/Conjunto artist Ramon Ayala joins Grupo Control, thanks to Casino del Sol. The concerts are rousing and you haven鈥檛 lived until you鈥檝e heard Ayala play the accordion. (AVA, Sept. 21).
Rickie Lee Jones captivated us in the late 鈥70s with her unique voice, and over the years she has been fearless as she experiments with her music. The Fox 蜜柚直播 is bringing her and Anders Osborne, who has an astounding voice, for a night of magic. (Fox 蜜柚直播, Nov. 8)
Brazilian guitarists S茅rgio and Odair Assad return for the UA鈥檚 International 蜜柚直播 Guitar Festival.
University of 蜜柚直播鈥檚 Fred Fox School of Music
Duo Assad, Brazilian guitarists S茅rgio & Odair Assad have been dubbed 鈥渢he best guitar duo alive鈥 by New York Latin Culture Magazine. We think that may be true. They return to 蜜柚直播 courtesy of the UA music school鈥檚 International 蜜柚直播 Guitar Festival. (Holsclaw Hall, Nov. 10; festival continues through Nov. 18)
Postmodern Jukebox
Postmodern Jukebox became Youtube stars with their new arrangements of just about any song. It could be jazzy, blues, standards 鈥 PMJ鈥檚 reinterpretations always reveal new layers to the songs. The Rialto Theatre treats us to the group. (Rialto, Nov. 21)
Opera
Educator and opera singer Ramon Aguirre will have his opera glasses busy this fall.
鈥淢aria de Buenos Aires,鈥 a tango operita, 鈥渟hould be something to behold.鈥
Jeff Roffman / Atlanta Opera/
First up for him will be 蜜柚直播 Opera鈥檚 鈥淢aria de Buenos Aires,鈥 with music by Astor Piazzolla, and a libretto by Horacio Ferrer. The operetta is about a woman who flees the slums of Buenos Aires, and it doesn鈥檛 turn out well for her (hey, it鈥檚 an opera).
鈥淟egendary composer Astor Piazzolla can be considered one of last century鈥檚 musical geniuses,鈥 says Aguirre. 鈥淗is 鈥楳aria de Buenos Aires鈥 is a tango operetta and when you consider the only thing more passionate than opera is perhaps tango, this should be something to behold.鈥 (Temple of Music and Art, Oct. 6-7)
Yunah Lee
Holly Seeber
He also plans on catching the UA school of music鈥檚 faculty concert with vocalistsYunah Lee, Andrew Stuckey and pianist John Milbauer performing song cycles for voice and piano. 鈥淭his is technically not opera but will be performed by really fine opera聽artists,鈥 says Aguirre. 鈥淚 have not had the pleasure to listen to Ms. Yunah Lee but she has a strong reputation and I understand she has sung all over the world to great acclaim. Andrew Stuckey has a rich, beautiful baritone voice that I could listen to forever. Normally you'd have to travel to a big city and spend a lot of money to hear a recital with singers of this caliber, but we are lucky to have them as faculty here at the UA.鈥 (Holsclaw Hall, Nov. 8)
蜜柚直播 Opera will stage 鈥淐harlie Parker鈥檚 Yardbird鈥
James Gill Photography LLC
And then he鈥檒l head to 蜜柚直播 Opera鈥檚 鈥淐harlie Parker鈥檚 Yardbird,鈥 with music by Daniel Schnyde and a libretto by Bridgette A. Wimberly. It 鈥渃ombines opera and jazz and is about legendary bebop saxophonist Charlie Yardbird,鈥 says Aguirre. 鈥淭hat should be interesting in itself and I can't help but wonder if it will have bel canto scatting.鈥 (Temple of Music and Art, Nov. 17-18)
T煤umben Paax will perform at Crowder Hall Oct. 4.
Courtesy University of 蜜柚直播 College of Fine Arts
We agree with his picks and would add the T煤umben Paax "Nueva M煤sica Mexicana" recital presented by University of 蜜柚直播 Fred Fox School of Music. The acclaimed group consists of sopranos Luc铆a Olmos and Lorena Barranco, and mezzo-sopranos Carmen Contreras, Marcela Robles, Julietta Beas and Betzab茅 Ju谩rez. Rodrigo Cadet conducts. (Crowder Hall, Oct. 4)
Choral
The 蜜柚直播 Choir 鈥 made up primarily of graduate students from the University of 蜜柚直播鈥檚 Fred Fox School of Music 鈥 will sing about God's many forms with its 鈥淎merican God鈥 concert. Musical themes from the Christian, Buddhist and Muslim faiths will be explored. Miguel 脕ngel Felipe, the UA鈥檚 new director of choral activities, will be leading the choir. (Congregation Anshei Israel, Oct. 21)

We are especially looking forward to this one: Reveille Men鈥檚 Chorus joins voices with the UA Symphonic Choir for 鈥淪olace and Celebration,鈥澛燼 celebration of D铆a de los Muertos. They鈥檒l be crooning tunes from a variety of genres, so expect everything from Gregorian chants to Johnny Cash. (Catalina Methodist Church, Nov. 4)
The 鈥淧atronato Christmas at San Xavier鈥 concerts have come to define the season here.
Jim Palka
As the holidays approach, the voices become more abundant. Among the don鈥檛-misses: True Concord Voices & Orchestra performing Handel鈥檚 Messiah (DesertView Performing Arts Center, Dec. 6; Tanque Verde Lutheran Church, Dec. 7; Community Performing Arts Center, Dec. 8, and St. Francis in the Foothills United Methodist Church, Dec. 9); 蜜柚直播 Repertory Singers鈥 鈥淐arol of Triumphant Joy!鈥 concerts (Christ the King Episcopal Church, Dec. 7; Grace St. Paul鈥檚 Episcopal Church, Dec. 9; St. Alban鈥檚 Episcopal Church, Dec. 14, and Christ Church United Methodist, Dec. 16), and, of course the annual 鈥淧atronato Christmas at San Xavier鈥 concert. The fundraiser for the mission joins the Sons of Orpheus and the 蜜柚直播 蜜柚直播 Boys Chorus 鈥 and the 蜜柚直播 Girls Chorus for the Dec. 10 concert 鈥 at the church for a series of performances that have come to define the season in the Old Pueblo. Patronato San Xavier, a group dedicated to the restoration and preservation of the church, sponsors the event. (Mission San Xavier del Bac, Dec. 10-13)
Jazz
Yvonne Ervin, the artistic director of the 蜜柚直播 Jazz Festival is pumped to see the Cory Weeds Quartet, featuring David Hazeltine, a presentation of Pete Swan Productions. 鈥淚 first saw David with vocalist Marlena Shaw at the Blue Note in New York City 25 years ago,鈥 says Ervin. 鈥淒avid swings in any genre and his command of piano technique is exceeded only by his harmonic invention.鈥 (Brother John鈥檚 Beer, Bourbon & BBQ, Sept. 14)
She鈥檚 also looking forward to Swedish jazz singer/musician Gunhild Carling at her Mister Bing鈥檚 supper club concert.

鈥淚 love Mr. Bings鈥 shows,鈥 she says. 鈥淲ith fine dining, dancers and close-up magic, it鈥檚 like being at the Rainbow Room in the 1950s. I also adore Gunhild 鈥 while some purists write off her show as just a schtick, I think she鈥檚 a great entertainer and a fine musician on all of her instruments 鈥 from bagpipe to trombone to harp.鈥 (Skyline Country Club, Sept. 30)
Becca Stevens performs at the Jazz Legends Live concert Sept. 21.
Courtesy Southern 蜜柚直播 Arts and Cultural Alliance
Jazz musician Brice Winston will be sharing the stage with Becca Stevens, who will be performing at the Southern 蜜柚直播 Arts聽and Cultural Alliance鈥檚 Jazz Legends Live concert. And he can鈥檛 wait to hear her. 鈥淭his is sure to be a world-class performance with one of聽the most sought after vocalists on the jazz scene today,鈥 he says. There are so many other greats in that event, too, including Jeffrey Haskell, Jason Carder, and, yes, Winston on the sax. (Crowder Hall, Sept. 21)
UA Presents is bringing in Jazz at Lincoln Center.
Joe Martinez
And Winston won鈥檛 miss the Jazz at Lincoln Center concert with Wynton Marsalis, brought here by UA Presents. 鈥淭his band is a collection of some of the finest musicians on the international jazz scene, and led by one of the finest trumpet players the world has ever known,鈥 he says. (Centennial Hall, Oct. 5)
Joe Saylor, drummer with the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, will perform Oct. 7 at the University of 蜜柚直播 school of music.
A few days after that, you鈥檒l find聽Winston at the Joe Saylor concert, with Phil Kuehn and UA faculty artist Angelo Versace, presented by the UA Fred Fox School of Music. Saylor has gained fame as the always-smiling drummer on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. 鈥淚n addition to his near-celebrity status, Joe Saylor is an impeccable drummer,鈥 says Winston. 鈥淒on't miss this.鈥 (Crowder Hall, Oct. 8)
We agree with all those jazz picks, and would add the Amos Hoffman and Noam Lemish Quartet, whose music is a blend of jazz and Jewish folk. They are coming here courtesy of the 蜜柚直播 Jewish Community Center. (蜜柚直播 JCC, Oct. 7)
Theater
A waitress stuck in a bad marriage gets support from her co-workers in 鈥淲补颈迟谤别蝉蝉,鈥 at Centennial Hall next week.
Joan Marcus
Educator and performer Jose 鈥淐hach鈥 Snook has a weakness for musicals, so high on his list is Broadway in 蜜柚直播鈥檚 鈥淲补颈迟谤别蝉蝉,鈥 based on the 2007 movie of the same name. It about a waitress in a diner who makes wonderful desserts and is married to a lout. When she discovers she鈥檚 pregnant, she flees him and the town. 鈥淚t has music written by the multi-talented Sara Bareilles,鈥 says Snook. 鈥淚 don鈥檛 think there is a song of hers I don鈥檛 like. Her melodies are catchy and lyrics clever, so I would be interested to see how she makes this story come alive.鈥 (Centennial Hall, Dec. 4-9)
鈥淥n Your Feet,鈥 packed with Gloria Estefan鈥檚 hits, comes to 蜜柚直播 Nov. 13-18.
Courtesy Broadway in 蜜柚直播
鈥淥n Your Feet鈥 is a songbook musical 鈥 not always a favorite 鈥 but it鈥檚 Gloria Estefan鈥檚 songbook, which is fun and exuberant. Broadway in 蜜柚直播 is bringing it in. (Centennial Hall, Nov. 13-18) Another songbook musical comes to us courtesy of 蜜柚直播 Onstage Productions: 鈥淢amma Mia,鈥 built around the music of ABBA. We鈥檝e seen it millions of times, but this company always makes things seem fresh. (Berger Performing Arts Center, Nov. 24-Dec. 2)
And while we鈥檙e talking musicals, we can not wait for 蜜柚直播 Theatre Company鈥檚 production of 鈥淭he Music Man.鈥 The play about a flimflan man who tries to hoodwink a whole town into buying instruments for the boy band he promises to start is funny and romantic and has wonderful music by Meredith Willson. And an extra incentive to go: the role of the lisping Winthrop will be played by 8-year-old 蜜柚直播an Nathaniel Wiley. The Manzanita Elementary School fourth-grader first got the acting bug in classes at Live Theatre Workshop, where he still performs. Full disclosure: He is the son of the Star鈥檚 photo editor, Rick Wiley. (Temple of Music and Art, Dec. 1-30)
蜜柚直播 Repertory Theatre is staging Elaine Romero鈥檚 鈥淟ike Heaven.鈥 From left, Anza Keller, Rebecca Galcik, Gabriela Giusti, Eavan Clare Brunswick.
Ed Flores///
Some talented 蜜柚直播 playwrights will have full productions of plays that we are looking forward to: Borderlands Theater鈥檚 鈥沦补苍肠迟耻补谤测鈥 about the Sanctuary Movement founded in 蜜柚直播 in the early 1980s, is written by Milta Ortiz (Southside Presbyterian Church,聽through Sept. 23); Monica Bauer鈥檚 鈥淭he Real Machiavelli,鈥 which is described as 鈥淥ne part sex farce, one part Italian-style commedia, and one part commentary on politics,鈥 intrigues us (Roadrunner Theatre, Oct. 19-Nov. 11); and Elaine Romero鈥檚 鈥淟ike Heaven.鈥 Here鈥檚 what the 蜜柚直播 Repertory Theatre says about the comedy: 鈥淎pril dreams of singing the blues, but life and love are in the way. Her little sister can鈥檛 let her go and her friend Trudy worries about her eternal soul. Enter a mysterious stranger who unwittingly provides a path to escape.鈥 (Tornabene Theatre, Sept. 16-Oct. 7)
The 蜜柚直播 Labyrinth Projects stages 鈥淒ogs of Rwanda,鈥 about a man鈥檚 recollection of the genocide he witnessed as a teen-aged missionary in Uganda. It teams up director Barclay Goldsmith with the talented Christopher Younggren as the lone actor in the play by Sean Christopher Lewis. (St. Francis in the Foothills United Methodist Church, Sept. 27-Oct. 14)
Christopher Younggren stars in the 蜜柚直播 Labyrinth Project's "Dogs of Rwanda."

The Scoundrel and Scamp Theatre is staging Sarah Ruhl鈥檚 鈥淓耻谤测诲颈肠别,鈥 which uses letters lost between Hell and Earth to tell the love story of Orpheus and Eurydice. Anytime you can see a Ruhl play, grab it. And this company is impressive. (Scoundrel & Scamp Theatre, Oct.11-28)
Jaclyn Backhaus鈥 鈥淢en on Boats鈥 sounds just too interesting. It鈥檚 a retelling of John Wesley Powell鈥檚 1869 expedition into the Grand Canyon. But there is not a man on the boat 鈥 they are all women, which turns the macho behavior inherent in explorers in the 1800s into a keen satire. Something Something Theatre Company is staging the play. (Temple of Music and Art, Oct. 12-28)
鈥淭he Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time鈥 will be staged by The Rogue Theatre. The adaptation of Mark Haddon's bestselling book of the same name tells the story of an autistic teen who sets out to solve the mystery surrounding the death of a neighbor鈥檚 dog. Simon Stephens adapted the book for the play, which racked up awards in the states and London. (The Rogue Theatre, Nov. 1-18)
Actress/director Holly Griffith calls herself 鈥渁n Irish theater enthusiast,鈥 so she鈥檚 got the University of 蜜柚直播鈥檚 蜜柚直播 Repertory Theatre鈥檚 production of Martin McDonagh鈥檚 dark comedy, 鈥淭he Cripple of Inishman,鈥 on her to-go list. 鈥淭hat wry Irish wit is going to be a fantastic challenge for the talent at the university,鈥 she says. (Tornabene Theatre, Nov. 4-Dec. 2)
The Tony nominated 鈥淕ood People鈥 will get a staging by Winding Road Theatre Company. The dark comedy by David Lindsay-Abaire takes place in an inner-city Boston neighborhood where a woman who has lost her job at the Dollar Store tries to think of a way to survive. She鈥檚 hoping an old beau who escaped the impoverished neighborhood could be her ticket out. (Scoundrel & Scamp Theatre, Nov. 1-18)
Students at Pima Community College take on Moliere鈥檚 delicious comedy, the once-banned 鈥淭补谤迟耻蹿蹿别鈥 鈥 it seems religious leaders thought it was an attack the the church. The 1664 play has held up well 鈥 it鈥檚 considered one of the classics of theater. It鈥檚 about Orgon, a wealthy man who deeply admires the poor 鈥 and conniving 鈥 Tartuffe. So Orgon brings him home with the thought of arranging a marriage to his daughter. That does not go down well. (Pima Community College Center for the Arts, Nov. 8-18)
Jessica Sherr brings her one-woman show, 鈥淏ette Davis Ain鈥檛 for Sissies鈥 to Invisible Theatre Nov. 16-17
Courtesy Invisible Theatre
Buckle your seatbelts: This one ought to be a hoot. Jessica Sherr brings her one-woman show 鈥淏ette Davis Ain鈥檛 For Sissies鈥 to Invisible Theatre. She takes on the persona of the great actress on the night before the 1939 Academy Awards. (Invisible Theatre, Nov. 16-17)
The cast of last year's聽 鈥榊ou鈥檙e a Good Man Charlie Brown鈥 at Live Theatre Workshop. It was such a surprise fun that we are looking forward to the sequel, "Snoopy!!!"
Ryan Fagan
We were pretty surprised how much we enjoyed 鈥淵ou鈥檙e a Good Man, Charlie Brown鈥 last season at聽Live Theatre Workshop. So we are looking forward to seeing the sequel, 鈥沦苍辞辞辫测!!!鈥 We have high expectations. (Live Theatre Workshop, Nov. 29-Dec. 29)
Dance
L-R, Ashley Bowman, Becky Belanger, Jeffrey Griffith, Claire Hancock in Artifact Dance Project鈥檚 鈥淧ositions of Power.鈥
Ed Flores
蜜柚直播 actress/director Holly Griffith is practically bursting with anticipation for Artifact Dance Project鈥s 鈥淧ositions of Power.鈥 Adapted from Thomas Cullinan鈥檚 novel 鈥淎 Painted Devil,鈥 it鈥檚 the story of a Union soldier who finds himself in an all-female boarding house in the Confederate South.
鈥淚 can't contain my excitement,鈥 says Griffith. 鈥淐laire Hancock is a talented choreographer and storyteller, and her adaptation ... should be full of mystery and drama.鈥 (Stevie Eller Dance Theatre, Sept. 20-23)
Choreographer and actress Kelli Workman also has Artifact high on her list.
And she plans to catch Compania Flamenca Eduardo Guerrero at Fox 蜜柚直播. She checked the troupe out on YouTube and was impressed.
Compania Flamenca Eduardo Guerrero鈥檚 performance at the Fox should be worth catching, says actress/choreographer Kelli Workman.
performs at Fox 蜜柚直播 Theatre Oct. 31.
BEATRIX MOLNAR
鈥淭his looks like a high quality, multi-layered production that will saturate the audience in many Spanish dance forms and music,鈥 she says. (Fox 蜜柚直播, Oct. 31)
Leslie Andrea Williams in Martha Graham鈥檚 Chronicle
Hibbard Nash Photography
Dancer Elena Lucia Terry is a trained Graham dancer, so naturally she is anxious to see the Martha Graham Dance Company, here thanks to UA Presents. (Centennial Hall, Nov. 8)
And she is looking forward to University of 蜜柚直播 School of Dance鈥檚 Premium Blend performances 鈥 student dancers perform works set on them by professional choreographers. 鈥淚 love seeing flourishing dancers perform work, and see the dedication to their work and their craft,鈥 says Terry. (Stevie Eller Dance Theatre, Nov. 14-18)
The 蜜柚直播 Regional Ballet will perform 鈥淎 Southwest Nutcracker鈥澛
Guy Atchley
Come December, dancers big and small will be leaping across the stage with 鈥淣utcracker鈥 performances. Among them: Ballet 蜜柚直播 (蜜柚直播 Music Hall, Dec. 7-9); Ballet Rincon (Vail Theatre of the Arts, Dec. 14-15); 蜜柚直播 Regional Ballet鈥檚 鈥淎 Southwest Nutcracker鈥 (蜜柚直播 Music Hall, Dec. 15-16), and a personal favorite, Dancing in the Street鈥檚 performance of "The Nutcracker." The children are irresistible, and the dance school鈥檚 founders, Soleste Lupu and Joseph Rodgers, are full of heart. (Leo Rich Theatre, Dec. 29-30)
Classical
Conductor Jos茅 Luis Gomez has an eye toward 鈥渆mpowering the next generation.鈥
Mamta Popat / 蜜柚直播
Arts advocate Michael Fenlason has his sights set on University of 蜜柚直播 music school鈥檚 蜜柚直播 Symphony Orchestra鈥檚 concert. 蜜柚直播 Symphony Orchestra鈥檚 Jos茅 Luis G贸mez will conduct a program that includes selections from Manuel de Falla鈥檚 鈥淓l Sombrero de Tres Picos."
鈥淭here is probably no more perfect match of conductor and composer,鈥 says Fenlason.
鈥淲hile Luis G贸mez loves his Schubert and Mahler at TSO, de Falla鈥檚 pieces are consistently and wonderfully delivered by this emerging and, in my view, fantastic young conductor.鈥 (Crowder Hall, Sept. 15).
Fenlason also has plans to see True Concord Voices and Orchestra鈥檚 鈥淎merican Rhythm鈥 concert celebrating the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.
True Concord Voices, conducted by Eric Holtan, in rehearsal
Ron Medvescek / 蜜柚直播
鈥淭he Grammy-winning True Concord will present music by Barber, Copland, and an extraordinary new piece by Jake Runestad, 鈥楧reams of the Fallen,鈥 based on texts of Iraqi War veterans,鈥 says Fenlason. 鈥淚鈥檓 buying tickets because of this Runestad piece. This is an exceptionally powerful and theatrical evening of music.鈥 (Nov. 3 and 4 at Catalina Foothills High School, Nov. 3 at Valley Presbyterian Church in Green Valley).
Educator, actor and opera singer Juan Jose Aguirre will be catching 蜜柚直播 Symphony Orchestra鈥檚 鈥淪tar Wars: A New Hope鈥 concert, which will feature the orchestra performing the John Williams score while the 1977 film plays.
鈥淚 am a big 鈥楽tar Wars鈥 fan and while I've heard this gorgeous music quite a bit in the movies, there's nothing like experiencing it live in an acoustic setting,鈥 says Aguirre, who teaches opera in the 蜜柚直播 Unified School District's Opening Minds Through the Arts program. 鈥淚 think people 鈥 will gain a deeper appreciation for the genius of John Williams if they can just sit in a concert hall and be absorbed in his music.鈥 (蜜柚直播 Music Hall, Nov. 24-25)
Aguirre also has the Southern 蜜柚直播 Symphony Orchestra鈥檚 Mexican Independence Day concert on his list, an event sponsored by Mexican Consulate in 蜜柚直播 and the Instituto Cultural Mexicano de 蜜柚直播.
He admits to a bias as he was born in Mexico. But he has attended the annual concert in the past and he knows what to expect.
鈥淚t always provides great music and variety,鈥 Aguirre says.
鈥淢aestro Linus Lerner has a good ear for talent and he always brings great singers down from Mexico to join his very underrated Southern 蜜柚直播 Symphony Orchestra.鈥 (Sept. 15, Oct. 20-21, Fox 蜜柚直播 Theatre)
Randy Spalding, a retired teacher and board member of 蜜柚直播 Friends of Chamber Music, plans to catch pianist Yasmin Alami and TSO violinist Joseph Rousos-Hammond perform a program by Beethoven, Paganini, Ysae and Grieg. 鈥淵asmin is an amazingly gifted pianist who performs throughout the world, and is living in 蜜柚直播,鈥 says Spalding. (Sept. 14, Rincon Congregational Church UCC).
The Beijing Guitar Duo.
Wasin Prasertlap
He鈥檚 also anxious to catch the Beijing Guitar Duo, Meng Su and Yameng Wang, presented by UA Presents.聽鈥淭hese young, Chinese, female guitarists challenge my preconceptions of what guitarists look like and where they鈥檙e from,鈥 says Spalding. 鈥淚 like that!鈥 (Nov. 15, Crowder Hall)
Here are our must-see choices:
Cellist Nicholas Mariscal is a 蜜柚直播 native and one-time standout with the TSO鈥檚 Young Composers Project. He鈥檒l team up with the orchestra to perform Khachaturian鈥檚 Rhapsody for Cello. Also on that bill: Rachmaninoff Symphony No. 3. It鈥檒l be an exciting evening. (蜜柚直播 Music Hall, Nov. 30 and Dec. 2)
Pianist Daniel Hsu is young (21), gifted and coming here thanks to the Friends of Chamber Music. The Mercury 蜜柚直播 in San Jose, Calif., says Hsu, who was the Bronze Medalist in the 2017 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, is a poet at the piano and has 鈥渁n expressive edge to his playing that charms, questions, and coaxes.鈥 We figure Hsu is a real up-and-comer. (Leo Rich Theater, Dec.16)
The University of 蜜柚直播 Fred Fox School of Music鈥檚 annual 鈥淢usic + Festival鈥 2018 (Oct. 10-16) features a whole slew of enticing programs, including Daniel Asia鈥檚 piano music performed by Tannis Gibson, and Dana Muller and Gary Steigerwalt on piano four-hands (Holsclaw Hall, Oct. 12), and chamber music performed by violinists Timothy Kantor and Tomasz Pajak, cellists Theodore Buchholz, Jacob Ginn and Diana Yusupov, and Edward Goodman on the sax (Holsclaw Hall, Oct. 14).
And we鈥檝e heard Christopher Herald play jazz and were quite impressed, so we are looking forward to his concert where he鈥檒l perform a mix of old and new classical works for the sax. (Pima Community College Center for the Arts, Nov. 15)
