Arizona Philharmonic is Prescott’s own champion of professional classical music. As the only professional orchestra based in Prescott, we are committed to enriching our community through world-class performances and local engagement.
Here are five reasons to support Arizona Philharmonic, your home team:
1. World-Class Conductor and Soloists
Arizona Philharmonic is led by internationally acclaimed conductor Peter Bay, returning for his seventh season with continuity and distinguished leadership. Under his baton this year, we feature national and international soloists like Violinist Katherine McLin and (double) Steinway Artist James D’León.
2. Professional Musicians in an Ideal Venue
Arizona Philharmonic gathers top professional musicians from across the state to rehearse and perform at the Ruth Street Theater. This venue, known for its superb acoustics and clear sightlines, ensures that every seat offers a prime view and an exceptional auditory experience. (Seasoned musicians often tell us that this is a great hall to perform in, and that AZ Phil is the best orchestra they’ve played with!)
3. Familiar Faces and Local Connections
Many of our musicians live in Prescott, and even more have built a strong local following with dedicated fans. By attending, you strengthen our local arts community and celebrate the talent of your neighbors and friends.
4. Immersive Artistic Experience
Our performances include a visual feast of creative stage design and custom lighting. You also have the chance to engage directly with the artists, with pre-concert talks that provide insights into the concert ahead, and our new Saturday Community Lecture Series, which offers personal explorations of artist-chosen topics with our featured musicians.
5. Commitment to Local Arts and Community Investment
Arizona Philharmonic reinvests in the Prescott arts scene by collaborating on facility improvements, paying fair wages to musicians, and attracting professional talent to the area. We are also deeply involved in Prescott, providing instruments for young students, supporting their music programs, and leading youth composition projects whose pieces are performed by AZ Phil.
As Arizona Philharmonic steps up to the plate for our season opener at Ruth Street Theater on Sunday, September 8, at 3:00 PM, we invite you to be part of something that is uniquely Prescott. Come show your pride in Prescott’s own Arizona Philharmonic and join us for a home-run performance by world-class talent. Tickets available at AZPhil.org.
Whether you’re a long-time fan or cheering us on for the first time, we look forward to seeing you in the stands.
