Phoenix trio to open Tucson classical summer concert series

St. Andrew’s Bach Society kicks off its 2022 summer concert series on Sunday, June 5, with the Phoenix-based Urban Nocturnes, an ensemble of moonlighting Phoenix Symphony players.

In addition to playing with the Phoenix Symphony, Urban Nocturnes is the artist-in-residence chamber ensemble at the 100-year-old Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in downtown Phoenix’s historic Roosevelt district.

The group usually includes six musicians, but for the concert Sunday it will be just three — founders violinist Karen Sinclair and violist Christopher McKay and flutist Viviana Cumplido Wilson, who played three seasons with the Tucson Symphony Orchestra in the early 2000s.
