Let’s get Springy together (take two)!
Spring is in the air, and so are the Springy Things! Join us for an afternoon of music that’s as fresh and vibrant as the season itself, brought to you by Crowded Quartet, Tucson’s most confusingly named wind quintet (don’t worry, it’s all five of us). We’re shaking off the winter chill with a program inspired by nature and the renewal of spring—featuring works by Nicole Buetti, Daniel Dorff, Molnar-Suhajda, and John Powell.
Our concert is all about connection and hope, because if there’s one thing nature teaches us, it’s that things always get a little more springy before they bloom. Come for the music, stay for the puns, and leave with a little more hope and harmony in your heart. We promise it’ll be less crowded than our name suggests—unless you count all the beauty of springtime!
Cape May Breezes – Daniel Dorff
Reflections of Assisi – Nicole Buetti
