Tucson Chamber Artists is a versatile ensemble of professional vocal and instrumental musicians dedicated to enriching lives through the transformational power of classical music. Now in its sixth season, TCA accomplishes its mission primarily through the performance of masterworks and the diverse music of America. Recent performances include Mozart's Mass in C-minor and Requiem, Schubert's "Unfinished" Symphony, Haydn's The Creation, and commissions by Paul Crabtree and Stephen Paulus. In 2009, the National Endowment for the Arts awarded funding for TCA's American Masterpieces program, featuring works by some of the great American composers of the 20th century. TCA's singers represent the first rank of choral artists within southern Arizona and from around the country, and its instrumentalists have trained in some of the finest schools in the world.
