Third Prime Wind Quintet
|
What is Third Prime? This question puzzled five bright artists from Tucson as they started their journey together in March of 2015. They gathered their knowledge, experience, and talents and set on a path to explore the realms of chamber music. Third Prime is the celebration of music in its many forms packed in a portable quintet format. Join us on a musical journey from Spain to South America, exploring classical, dance, jazz, and traditional folk songs!

Pete Swan
The first American Mardi Gras took place on March 3, 1699, when French explorers landed near present-day New Orleans, Louisiana. We continue this tradition with the talents of Peter Swan and his Mardi Gras Celebration Band. Pete Swan has gathered a special group of musicians to put on an amazing afternoon of music ranging from Traditional to Dixieland to Comtemporary New Orleans music. Music, merriment and a light repast will top off the afternoon. The Mardi Gras Party follows this concert in the Murphey Gallery.
