Tucson Symphony Orchestra
José Luis Gomez, conductor
Students from the Advanced Class will have their pieces performed by the full Tucson Symphony Orchestra. Following each initial reading, the student composer will make recommendations to the musicians on the performance of their work. Musicians will then perform the work again to be recorded for the students’ personal use.
The TSO is thrilled to once again partner with the Consulate of Mexico in Tucson to present the Mexican Independence Day Concert! This vibrant concert, conducted by Maestro Gomez, also features fantastic vocal soloists, Mariachi Aztlán de Pueblo High School, and Compañía de Danza Folklórica Arizona.
