JEAN-PAUL BIERNY
Musical Visionary
No one understood the pure genius of Jean-Paul Bierny when he began his creative adventure to bring world-class chamber musicians to Tucson.
We will travel with him on his brilliant and heart-warming journey as he envisioned the present day Arizona Friends of Chamber Music (AFCM) that we know and love.
The Concerts are a unique and unparalleled gift to music lovers and the exceptional quality of the performances stands in a class by itself.
They are intimate, passionate and exciting.
Because of Jean-Paul, a world-class musical experience is right here in Tucson.
Dr. Bierny became the President of AFCM 35 years ago. The organization had been in existence since 1947.
As President, he had a vision for Tucson's music lovers and this vision has become reality. Throughout the years, the core of his dream focused on enhancing and expanding the existing Evening Series.
He wanted to bring to Tucson world-famous chamber music ensembles that combined new and traditional chamber works.
His aim was to give Tucson the "Best of the Best."
To accomplish his lofty goal, he developed an organization built upon volunteers.
Jean-Paul led his volunteers to increase the breadth and depth of his "creation" to include an afternoon Piano and Friends Program and, with his music director, Peter Rejto, a shimmering centerpiece; the eight day, internationally acclaimed Tucson Winter Chamber Music Festival.
He also initiated a world-renowned Commissioning Program (entirely sponsored by audience members) and a vitally important Youth Outreach Program. The finest of the world's composers are commissioned to premier their new masterpieces for us
