In partnership with our community, The Phoenix Symphony is taking bold steps toward a bright and enduring future. As we approach our 80th Season, now is the time to build on a tradition of artistic excellence and expand our impact.
The Phoenix Symphony is a vital cultural pillar—bringing inspiration, joy, and connection through extraordinary music, transformative education programs, and powerful community engagement. To sustain and grow this impact, we are launching CRESCENDO, a $60 million campaign to enrich our community through musical excellence, innovation, and legacy.
The CRESCENDO campaign will enable our Symphony to provide extraordinary musical experiences that inspire and advance our community, enriching the lives of people of people of all ages and backgrounds.
We will invest in world-class performances, accessible programming, and innovative concert experiences that reflect our diverse community. Support from CRESCENDO ensures that our musicians—who live and work in the Valley—can continue to elevate our cultural life.
Music is a powerful tool for healing and connection. Through wellness programs in memory care facilities, shelters, and hospitals, musicians bring live music to those unable to attend concerts, enriching lives and offering moments of shared humanity.
Our education initiatives serve thousands of Arizona students each year:
The Symphony plays a critical role in the region’s economic and cultural health. We help attract talent, support local jobs, and contribute to the $400 million arts economy in Phoenix.
Fulfill our mission while fostering increased strength. As part of these efforts, grow our Community Engagement and Education programs and achieve a multi-year agreement with our musicians.
Provide critical investments in marketing, fundraising, operations, and programming to drive growth, enhance the audience experience, and support even more innovative and dynamic programming.
Attract and retain the finest musicians who live and work in our community, while engaging guest artists and conductors who help inspire and elevate our performances.
Generate reliable, predictable income to support annual operations and reduce dependence on fluctuating revenue streams. The goal is aligned with the average of peer orchestras in the United States.
Create a financial buffer to navigate economic downturns and unforeseen challenges.
Provide the flexibility to innovate and respond to the evolving needs of our community with new programs and initiatives.
The CRESCENDO Campaign Cabinet is a dedicated group of leaders who are instrumental in guiding and supporting the Phoenix Symphony’s fundraising efforts. These distinguished community leaders and passionate advocates for our mission play a pivotal role in shaping the campaign’s vision, engaging key supporters, and ensuring we meet our ambitious goals. With their expertise, leadership, and commitment, they are driving transformative change that will enrich our community and secure a vibrant future for the Phoenix Symphony.
