Cathalena E. Burch Arizona Friends of Chamber Music wraps up its 2022-23 season on Wednesday, April 19, with the Tucson debut of an award-winning trio known for performances that invigorate audiences emotionally and intellectually.
Tentser, a regular on Tucson stages and in the classrooms of Pima Community College, where he is a longtime faculty member and conductor, and Bromberg, a member of the Tucson Symphony Orchestra and former member of the Canton Symphony Orchestra, also will perform Villa-Lobos’s Aria from “Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5” and Brahms’s Sonata in E flat major for Viola and Piano.
Higdon’s 2015 piece “American Canvas,” commissioned by the Women Pioneers of American Music for the trio, was inspired by American artists Georgia O’Keeffe, Jackson Pollock and Andrew Wyeth, who each have a movement in the piece.
