Biographical Note
Fred Ronstadt was born in Magdalena, Sonora, Mexico in 1868 and in 1882 was sent to
Tucson to work as an apprentice in the Dalton and Vasquez Wagon Shop. He began musical
training from an early age and once in Tucson became associated with several musicians
and music lovers who helped him to continue his musical studies. In 1889, Ronstadt and
several friends formed a group, began music lessons and became the Club Filarmónico
Tucsonense. They made their debut in 1890 at Carillo's Gardens. Band membership was
diverse, with members representing several prominent businesses in the community. In
addition to weekly concerts, the band played several civic functions and even toured
Southern California in 1896. Ronstadt quit the Club Filarmónico Tucsonense shortly after
1898 and, the Club disbanded shortly thereafter.
