Tucson Symphony Orchestra
José Luis Gomez, conductor
This season, the Tucson Symphony Orchestra is excited to partner with the American Composers Orchestra to present EarShot. The TSO will present one public reading of the composers’ works.

The Laissez-Paire Duo (Katie Rice and Shiana Montanari) will perform feral / fluid at the 2020 Texas Clarinet Colloquium in Commerce, TX.
Alarm Will Sound returns to the 560 Music Center on February 1st with world premieres of music by A. Pyper and Lucrecia Dalt as well as Hexactinellida by Chelsea Komschlies. A. Pyper joins Alarm Will Sound as singer and violinist for the world premiere of her new work, Descansos. Descansos are roadside memorials that mark where a loved one has died. Pyper’s work reflects on the composer’s own life experience growing up as a gay woman in a Mormon family, and trying to mark and move on from those spots in life where loss and trauma have occurred. They are one of the first recipients of support from Alarm Will Sound’s Matt Marks Impact Fund, the goal of which is to support new work that may not otherwise receive funding because of systemic barriers to unconventional work or under-represented artists.
