Student Chamber Tour Embarks on Second Year
The U of A Student Chamber Music Tour is embarking on its second season across the communities of central Arkansas this coming May. The 2024 tour will feature four outstanding student ensembles: Rose Quartz Winds, Nomad Brass, SYS Trio and two zero one saxophone quartet.
The tour pushes the envelope of student learning by allowing the participating students to experience performing in a variety of venues and communities while performing at the highest caliber. The community aspect of the tour is the driving force of its mission. Chamber music uniquely connects to audiences allowing for conversation from performer to listener and encouraging accessibility to all.
In its second year, the participating ensembles will be traveling to Malvern, Sheridan, Rison, Fordyce, Perryville and Alma over the course of three days. They will also perform at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 15, in the Jim and Joyce Faulkner Performing Arts Center.
