“Many of our recent concerts have sold out so we encourage classical music lovers to get their season tickets today so they’re set for the season,” says Joy Partridge, Executive Director of the Scottsdale Philharmonic. “Proceeds from the season tickets also help us with concert expenses incurred during the summer months, before the start of the season.”
Concerts will be held at La Casa de Cristo Lutheran Church, 6300 E. Bell Rd. in Scottsdale, on the following Sundays from 4-6 p.m.:
– Oct. 13—“Tchaikovsky’s Italian Masterpiece”
– Nov. 17—“The Great Organ Symphony”
– Dec. 8—“Holiday Concert Celebration”
– Feb. 9—“Valentine’s Day Concert”
– April 6—“The Great Scheherazade”
– May 11—“Beethoven’s Lyrical Odyssey”
– June 29—“Independence Day Concert”
Tickets are available online at www.scottsdalephilharmonic.com, or by calling 480-951-6077.
“The Scottsdale Philharmonic has become a valley-wide symphony,” Partridge explains. “This is why we offer free live streaming for all concerts, low ticket prices, and free tickets to all students, Active Military/Veterans, and anyone who needs financial assistance but still wants to experience the joy of classical music.
“In addition to offering free concert tickets to students, we’re cultivating the next generation of music enthusiasts by immersing youth in symphonic music–offering free instruments and scholarships,” Partridge explains. “Visit our website for more information about our youth programs.
“As we announced earlier this year, we have appointed Vanja Gjumar Nikolovski as our Principal Resident Conductor for next season,” says Partridge. “Maestro Nikolovski graduated with majors in conducting and composition from the Saints Cyril and Methodius University of Skopje Faculty of Music, Macedonia, and has conducted all over the world.”
The Scottsdale Philharmonic is a non-profit organization based in Scottsdale/Phoenix but performing all around the Valley. The Philharmonic does not receive financial support from any cities/towns. Although the group charges for tickets, this income only covers about one-third of the costs. Therefore, the other two-thirds of its support must come from individual donors. “If you appreciate classical music and would like to help us fulfill our mission, please visit the website to make a donation today,” Partridge says.
Individual concert tickets are available for $20-$35, and can be purchased online at www.scottsdalephilharmonic.com.
