Phoenix Symphony Announces Family Concerts in November and January

The Phoenix Symphony (TPS) is announcing two family concerts, America the Beautiful at 11 a.m. November 19, and M is for Mozart at 11 a.m. January 28.

The America the Beautiful performance at Symphony Hall will offer a magical ride through the world of orchestral music. The concert will explore the music inspired by the different people, cultures and places from all of the Americas.

M is for Mozart, at Madison Center for the Arts, will delight young music lovers. This inspiring program features music written by Mozart and other famous composers before they turned 18 years old. Matthew Kasper will conduct both family concerts.

Tickets start at $14. Bundle both Family Concerts and receive 20% off the ticket price. The family concerts are only one hour, shorter than a typical Symphony performance.

“The Phoenix Symphony’s family concerts are a fun and exciting way to introduce the younger generation to orchestras and the power of connecting with music,” said Tito Muñoz, the Phoenix Symphony’s Virginia G. Piper Music Director.

To enhance the experience of concertgoers this fall, the Phoenix Symphony is creating several experiences, called Preludes. The Preludes will take place one hour prior to select performances with activities to delight the whole family.

In addition to performing traditional and modern repertoire in the fall and spring in Symphony Hall and around the Valley, our world-class musicians are actively engaged in the community year-round thanks to generous foundation, corporation, and individual support. TPS is further strengthened by collaborating with world renowned guest conductors and artists. The core mission of The Phoenix Symphony is to provide the joy of live music as a catalyst for discovery, knowledge, compassion, and connection. Annually, our orchestra members empower more than 120,000 students through education and outreach partnerships and create opportunities for healing and deeper connection for tens of thousands of adults experiencing homelessness, in Alzheimer’s care facilities, in hospitals and in hospice.
