ABOUT US

The Symphony aspires to perform live symphonic music of excellence, beauty, and vitality at a consistently high level and to address the needs of communities throughout the Valley, meeting their needs through music-based programs. Concerts follow a selection of seasonal programs - Classics, Pops, and special presentations; designed to attract a diverse audience.

In addition to our mainstage concerts, The Phoenix Symphony Learning Institute operates a varied group of programs that reach over 125,000 students, adults, and families every year. Programs cover many other activities, including school-based concerts, a cross-cultural music residency with the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community and a professional development model to train teachers and Symphony musicians in how to teach and assess STEM concepts through music. Our B-Sharp Music Wellness Initiative provides live, interactive performances presented by Symphony musicians in healthcare settings and homeless outreach centers.

Testimonials

"The Mind Over Music program brings the music experience to children who probably never would have it otherwise. The Phoenix Symphony has professional musicians come and take their time to share their beautiful musicianship. They also associate music with the skills we teach in school, it's very beneficial for those children and helps them to use all parts of their brain to figure out the world around them. It makes me feel wonderful when I see that happening." - Teacher, 2023 Season

"We look forward again to having the musicians perform for our patients. Music is so healing. Helps them to forget their wounds, burdens and pain. It carries them to a place of imagination and hope towards a better life." - Shelter Staff, 2023

"I took my grandniece to The Phoenix Symphony and she adored it! She is just now getting into the violin and had never been to a 'real' symphony. I will ttake her to more in the coming season." Attendee, 2022 Season
