The annual Tucson Desert Song Festival opens Jan. 18 and has a spring session in March.
Cathalena E. Burch The two-part 11th annual Tucson Desert Song Festival kicks off Wednesday, Jan. 18, and will present 17 events over a total of seven weeks including landmark symphonies by Beethoven and Mahler, a Rachmaninoff masterpiece, four world premieres — one of them commissioned by the Song Festival — and 32 guest artists including one of opera’s brightest stars.
Hanson said one of the festival’s highlights will come on the opening weekend, when the TSO, under the baton of José Luis Gomez, performs Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony “Choral” with the TSO Chorus and four guest soloists. Forsythe suggested that a song festival involving a handful of Tucson arts organizations including the symphony, opera and university, could raise the money to bring in world-class, up-and-coming vocalists who would shine a spotlight on Tucson as a vocal arts destination.
Baritone Justin Austin will perform the world premiere of opera composer Ricky Ian Gordon’s new song cycle, commissioned by the Song Festival as part of the Wesley Green Composer Project. Feb. 9; tucsonsongfest.org
