Arizona Baroque – “España y Nueva España”

Arizona Baroque, the University of Arizona’s baroque ensemble, will perform their spring concert on Saturday, April 6, 2019 at 12:00 p.m. at Saint Philip’s in the Hills Episcopal Church, (4440 N. Campbell Avenue). Admission is free.

Please note that the date and venue of this concert changed since it was initially advertised. The April 13 performance in Holsclaw Hall will not take place. We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.

The performance, titled “España y Nueva España” will feature works by Billioni, Jerusalem, Nebra, Lienas, Fernandes and Perez.

Arizona Baroque is dedicated to the interpretation of early music from an academic perspective, supporting the current research and discussion about topics related to history and historical performance of well-known and recentlydiscovered repertoire. This ensemble was created to foster the performance of little-known but exceptional vocal and instrumental music from the 17th and 18th centuries. The group was founded by graduate student Olman Alfaro and is coached by Dr. John Brobeck. Members include outstanding graduate and undergraduate singers and instrumentalists from the Fred Fox School of Music.

One thing that needs to be considered in this time of major climate change concern is the carbon emissions of flying in artists from overseas. The carbon emissions of flying Stockholm-Tucson roundtrip come to about 3 tons per economy class passenger. That is comparable to the carbon emissions produced by the average American in 1 year of driving. Could a US-based organist have played this recital (shorter travel distance and lower emissions)? Or, is Hammarstrom already on tour in the US (thus consolidating multiple recitals into 1 overseas trip)? There is also the option of offsetting flight emissions. Saying this as a DMA grad of the UA organ program and as an astronomy educator who’s following the astronomy field’s efforts to mitigate climate impact.
