Sing for our love of nature that binds us together

Join Reid Park Zoo at Crowder Hall on the University of Arizona campus in collaboration with the University Community Chorus for an evening of music, memory, and meaning. This interdisciplinary concert explores themes of journey, identity, and compassion — honoring the stories we hold and the paths that shape us. The concert will feature the premiere of a new work by composer Patrick Chiu, created in celebration of Reid Park Zoo’s Pathway to Asia expansion opening in late 2026.
