What we’re about
CAMPO’s (Classical Amateur Musician Performance Organization’s) mission is fostering the love of classical music in the Tucson area particularly through the amateur chamber musician community. We have regular meetings where members take turns playing their instrument as an informal, practice performance. We also aim to organize group recitals giving classical musicians opportunities to perform solo or in small ensembles and to network with each other and interested community members. Our group has done volunteer performances at local venues such as retirement homes.

Starts at 2 PM MST = 5 PM EDT = 4 PM CDT = 3 PM MDT = 2 PM PDT = 21:00 UTC
(MST = Arizona time, standard time year-round)
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.
