UA Presents launched The Tucson Studio, a resource for Southern Arizona artists that offers technical assistance with audio and video production for live performance, as well as a platform to showcase those performances to the community.

“We are excited about the way our community has continued to embrace and support our local artists during a time in which none of us expected to experience performances only online,” said Chad Herzog, Executive Director of UA Presents. “I couldn’t be more proud of the work coming from our new program, The Tucson Studio. Thanks to our dedicated staff for making it all happen, our community partners for inviting us in, and the incredible artists from around Southern Arizona willing to share their music. We can’t wait to share these artists with you in person when we can come together with live performances again.”

Viewers are encouraged to make donations to the musicians via PayPal, Venmo and CashApp. Links to those sites can be found on The Tucson Studio website. All proceeds go directly towards the artists.

“I think it’s a deft and generous move, one that not only empowers and supports artists in this dramatic but finite period of isolation, but also shares tools and knowledge that any musician interested in promoting their music needs more and more in the age of streaming video,” said Ryan Alfred, singer/songwriter for the band Sweet Ghosts.

Local tango guitarist Maxi Larrea, who’s new album “Donde Termina el Río” was recently released on Amazon, feels that The Tucson Studio is playing a crucial role in supporting musicians during this time.

“By helping amplify the work of local musicians, organizations like The Tucson Studio are playing a vital role in both supporting the stability of our artistic community and its growth,” said Larrea.

Big News! The Pride of Arizona is the 2024-2026 recipient of the prestigious Sudler Trophy. This award is given to a university marching band “that has demonstrated the highest musical standards and innovative marching routines and ideas.” A very deserving title for one of the best collegiate marching bands in the country, according to the John Philip Sousa Foundation.

The Pride is currently in its final push to raise money for new uniforms. To help us meet the ambitious goal of $200,000, the Marshall Foundation has committed $100,000 ... if we raise the additional $100,000.

Congrats to the Pride. Support the Pride.
