Tucson Winter Chamber Music Festival

The Tucson Winter Chamber Music Festival continues to be recognized as one of the world’s outstanding chamber music festivals, celebrated for exceptional artistry and thoughtfully curated repertoire. In 2027, Peter Rejto and Bernadette Harvey return as Artistic Co-Directors, guiding the Festival into its 33rd season. Festival 2027 welcomes the Isidore String Quartet alongside an exceptional roster of guest artists, including Julie Albers, Martin Beaver, Kevin Fitz-Gerald, Jennifer Frautschi, Bernadette Harvey, Milena Pájaro-van de Stadt, Randall Scarlata, and James Austin Smith. Across five concerts, audiences will experience masterworks by Mozart, Schumann, Brahms, Mendelssohn, Dvořák, Fauré, and Schubert, alongside compelling works by Barber, Martinů, Bridge, Loeffler, Westlake, and Pärt. A highlight of the final concert is the Festival’s commissioned work by Christopher Theofanidis, featuring baritone Randall Scarlata and Festival artists. Festival week includes five formal concerts, Open Rehearsals, a Youth Concert, and a Silent Auction. The Festival Celebration at the Leo Rich Theater offers patrons a private concert followed by the opportunity to meet and mingle with the Festival musicians.
