Last season was amazing, and we are working to bring you more of the greatest guitar talent from all corners of the earth! Our season will start September 23rd with a small concert (under 100 guests) featuring a great guitarist, Rovshan Mamedkuliev (Azerbaijan) playing in the spectacular and intimate Our Lady’s Chapel at Saint Augustine Cathedral. We have “Sundays in the Garden” concerts at Tohono Chul Park Sundays in October and November from 1:30 - 3:00 PM. These al fresco events are free with park admission. The Guitar Orchestra plays its fall concert _____ at the . This is also free to all.
The Tucson Guitar Society is sponsoring the return of the great Spanish virtuoso Rafael Aguirre to play Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez with the Tucson Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Jose Luis Gomez, October 10 and 11. On October 25th we bring the outstanding A To Z Duo with Aniello Desiderio (Italy) and Zoran Dukic (Croatia). We start 2027 with the return of the mesmerizing Adam del Monte and his exciting program of flamenco and classical music, January 23. Every year we present the touring winner of the Guitar Foundation of America competition, and it is always a thrill to meet and to hear these extraordinary rising stars in the guitar world. This year it is Virgile Barthe of France, playing on February 12. And after Virgile, we welcome Grammy Award winning David Russell for his annual residency at the U of A. There are not enough accolades to describe this great artist—-just come hear him play on February 27 or 28. On March 4, two-time Grammy Winner Paul O’Dette takes the stage with his lute in hand— it’s your chance to hear him play in the great acoustics of Holsclaw Hall! And we close our season with a duo from Puerto Rico: soprano Camille Ortiz with guitarist Hector Alfonso Torres on April 2 with Latin Music.
SAVE THE DATES! We will post ticket links as soon as the UA gets them to us.
