The Arizona Friends of Chamber Music (AFCM), which has brought nationally and internationally renowned chamber music groups to perform in Tucson for 60 years, is pleased to present the Tucson Winter Chamber Music Festival. This world-class musical event has been called "one of the best and most adventurous festivals in the US"! (American Record Guide), and a "jewel of a festival" by Chicago classical radio station WFMT.
AFCM presents our week long chamber music festival featuring 5 concerts: Sunday afternoons at 3PM, and Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings at 8PM. We also have a wonderful gala dinner on Saturday evening at the elegant Arizona Inn, featuring music by our festival performers, along with champagne and dinner. Master classes for University music students are presented on Saturday afternoon. The master classes and open dress rehearsals are free and open to the public.
Arizona Friends of Chamber Music is proud to be one of the country's most active commissioning programs. This year's festival features AFCM commissions by Dominik Maican and Thomas Schuttenhelm. There are still opportunities to join us in supporting the living art of chamber music by sponsoring a new composition. Please visit our Commissioner's Circle.
Our thanks once again go to Peter Rejto, Artistic Director of all our Festivals, who has assembled some of the world's finest musicians and programmed a repertoire both contemporary and classic.
