Nine members of True Concord Voices & Orchestra will perform the ensemble's second consort this week. There will be six chances to catch the show starting on Election Day Tuesday, Nov. 3.
Wanna get your mind off of politics?
On Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 3, True Concord Voices & Orchestra hopes to distract you with Monteverdi's Italian madrigals, Rossini's reflections on being a Gondolier and Brahms's two-part songs.
Nine of the choir's vocalists will sweeten the pot with texts of Henry Heveningham and Walt Whitman set to song by David Dickau; "Flight Song" by Norwegian composer Kim André Arnesen based on the poetry of Euan Tait; and Tom Waits's scorching blues blaster "Temptation."
The choir will perform "Monteverdi, Rossini and Brahms 'Temptations'," the second of its consorts and the third concert its six-concert fall "bubble" season, six times through Sunday, Nov. 8. Audiences will be limited to no more than 50 and everyone will be required to wear a mask in keeping with COVID-19 pandemic safety protocols. Tickets start at $35 through True Concord.
Performances will be held at Community Foundation for Southern Arizona, 5049 E. Broadway in Tucson, at 5 p.m. Tuesday; 3 and 5 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 4; and 5 p.m. Friday. The performance moves to Green Valley's Community Performance & Art Center, 1250 W. Continental Road, for shows at 3:30 and 5:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 8.
Coming up: True Concord Music Director Eric Holtan is getting together the band — OK, not a band so much as a chamber ensemble — to join the choir for its final live performance of the bubble season. "Mother Earth," to be performed six times from Nov. 13-15, will feature the music of nature from around the globe, including works by Brahms, Stanford and Whitacre. Click here for details.
