True Concord Voices & Orchestra has dubbed its upcoming 19th season “Out of This World” for good reason.
The season opens with a musical and visual celebration of the solar system and includes Haydn’s monumental oratorio “The Creation.”
Add to that the much-anticipated world premiere of Jocelyn Hagen’s “Here I Am” commissioned by True Concord, Rachmaninoff’s Vespers and motets by Brahms, Bruckner, Bach and Mozart, and the season screams “Out of This World.”
Season tickets are on sale now through trueconcord.org. True Concord performs at venues throughout Tucson.
• Tim Takach’s “Helios,” a musical and visual celebration of the solar system, Sept. 30-Oct. 2. This will be the Southwest premiere for the work, which Takach composed in 2019. The performance will include the world premiere of visuals by Deborah Johnson that True Concord commissioned and the finale from Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, transcribed by Franz Liszt and performed by Tucson pianist Alexander Tentser.
