Still, it took a while for Tucson to establish itself as a great town for chamber music. They were amazed when they got here. When the Montreal Quartet came, they said they'd heard from the Emerson Quartet that there's a fantastic chamber music society way down in the desert. He gave up his seat on the board after 40 years' service, but still faithfully attends all the concerts out of sheer love of the music. These are super musicians.
Chamber music takes a virtuoso.
Every part is a solo. Everything is exposed. Chamber music is healthy and growing.
