Two Tucson orchestras open their spring parks concert series just in time to fete mom on her special day.
Cathalena E. Burch If you’re scratching your head worrying about what to get mom for Mother’s Day, here’s an idea: Pack a picnic supper with a nice bottle of wine and those store-bought flowers you picked up at the last minute, grab a blanket and head out to Udall Park on Saturday, May 13, and Reid Park on Sunday, May 14, and treat mom to live music under the stars.

Sunday’s concert also will pay tribute to one of Bourne’s musical colleagues, the late blues-jazz singer George Howard, who died April 14 at the age of 72.
