The Civic Orchestra of Tucson (COT) will present two complimentary symphony concerts to inaugurate its 51st season in Marana and Tucson. To commence the performance, COT will perform the spirited Festive Overture by Dmitri Shostakovich. If you enjoy a big brass fanfare and lively melodies, this is the piece for you. The exquisite Clarinet Concerto in A Major by Mozart will feature COT’s principal clarinetist, Philip Evans as soloist. And concluding the performance will be an audience favorite, Dvořák’s Symphony No. 8, filled with beautiful, recognizable melodies. On October 25, the orchestra will perform at Catalina Foothills High School Auditorium, which has wonderful acoustics and is easily accessible to those with mobility issues.
