What we’re about
Tucson Classical Outreach is a member-run community organization dedicated to playing and performing music in the classical tradition (for example, Bach, Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Ligeti, etc). Our focus is on human performances (electronically generated music is beyond our scope).
We have meetings where members can give a trial/practice performance of their pieces, or just come and listen to other members playing. We also, from time to time, organize small-scale recitals where our members can perform. Our group has given volunteer performances at community venues such as retirement homes.
Our group also helps classical musicians connect with each other. If you are interested in classical music, either as a player or as a listener, and want to know more, feel free to message the organizer, or come to one of our meetings.

Starts at 2 PM MST = 5 PM EDT = 4 PM CDT = 3 PM MDT = 2 PM PDT = 21:00 UTC
(MST = Arizona time)Classical musicians: you as a soloist or with your ensemble play a piece (or two...) you've been working on. We'll take turns, usually in the order people rsvp'd on Meetup. This is a practice performance. Listeners welcome too. We end on time after 90 minutes (3:30 PM MST); if you perform please stay to listen to the others who perform too as a courtesy. Note that our focus is on human performances; computer-generated performances are outside of the scope of this group. Our focus is on the classical tradition (e.g., Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Ligeti, etc); pop songs are also outside our focus. If your Zoom handle doesn't match your Meetup name, please let the organizer know in advance or identify yourself on joining. Please optimize your Zoom settings for music; see this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgnJwck9RpI for how to do this in Windows on a laptop or desktop (some of what's in the video many help for other devices and operating systems). This will enable listeners to hear your music better. Generally using Zoom on a laptop or desktop is better than on a phone. An external microphone will likely improve sound quality but isn't necessary.
