“We’ve been dedicated to providing live performances of chamber music for the Tucson community for seven decades now and it was just a terrible situation not being able to do what our organization has been put together and dedicated to doing,” Tolliver said. “We’ve tried to keep in touch with our audiences with streaming concerts, but, of course, it’s not the same. The concerts, in addition to being an event of musical performance, it’s also a gathering of music lovers. And that’s just not been possible for more than a year now. I think we are all looking forward to it.”
Arizona Friends of Chamber Music President Joseph Tolliver says performances will return to Leo Rich Theatre in the fall.
The Friends will have 17 in-person concerts in 2021-22 and, taking a lesson from the past year’s virtual concerts, will also offer an online streaming option for those who don’t feel comfortable returning to the theater. The lineup includes the return of old friends — the Juilliard String Quartet on Nov. 17; St. Lawrence String Quartet on Dec. 8; and Imani Winds on Jan. 19 — and rescheduled concerts from the past season that were put on hold because of the pandemic, including the Poulenc Trio, which is making up the lost 2020 date on Feb. 13.
Other season highlights include Hermitage Piano Trio on Nov. 10, cellist Jonathan Swensen on Nov. 21, clarinetist Narek Artyunian and pianist Steven Beck on Jan. 9, violinist Yura Lee and pianist Gilles Vonsattel on Feb. 2, the Artemis Quartet on Feb. 23, and the Vienna Piano Trio on April 6.
