The Civic Orchestra of Tucson concert to support its Young Artist Competition includes an auction of a Grand Canyon pastel by local artist Jude Enida Sheldon.
American composer Ferde Grofé wrote his "Grand Canyon Suite" in 1931 as a five-movement jazz-infused tone poem to be played by a small orchestra of about 20 players.
On Saturday, Feb. 4,"Grand Canyon Suite" will anchor the 75-member Civic Orchestra of Tucson's benefit concert at Christ Church United Methodist, 655 N. Craycroft Road. Proceeds from ticket sales will support the volunteer orchestra's 38th annual Young Artists’ Competition. A winner from the 2023 competition, held Jan. 22 at Pima Community College, will be part of Saturday's concert, which also includes an auction for Tucson artist Jude Enida Sheldon's pastel of the Grand Canyon.
