Symphony Spotlights Satchmo and Sinatra 

February Pops Performances Celebrate Jazz and Classic Standards

PHOENIX (January 25, 2022) — The Phoenix Symphony’s Feburary performances will bring to life some of the favorites in jazz and classic standards with highly regarded guest musicians taking the stage at Symphony Hall.

“Louis ‘Satchmo’ Armstrong and the Queen of Jazz” featuring Byron Stripling (conductor, vocals and trumpet) and Carmen Bradford (vocals) will be featured on Friday, February 4 and Saturday, February 5 (two Saturday shows).

Stripling and Bradford take patrons on a journey through the most famous duets and solos recorded by two of jazz’s greatest legends — Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. Featuring hits of the Great American Songbook, they recreate one of the most memorable collaborations in music history during the performance. Stripling and Bradford are available for interviews to discuss these performances. Please contact Tom Evans to schedule interviews.

And from February 18-20, The Phoenix Symphony will feature “Music of Frank Sinatra and Beyond with Tony DeSare,” under the baton of Stuart Chafetz. Chafetz is available for interviews to discuss these performances. Please contact Tom Evans to schedule interviews

Called “two parts Frank Sinatra and one part Billy Joel,” the triple-threat singer/pianist/songwriter Tony DeSare takes on the legend of Ol’ Blue Eyes himself, delivering a fresh take on old school classic in a critically-acclaimed tribute to the great Frank Sinatra. The performance includes songs like “Come Fly with Me,” “I’ve Got the World On a String,” “It Was A Very Good Year,” “One for My Baby,” “The Summer Wind,” “I Get A Kick Out of You,” “Night and Day,” “New York, New York,” “My Way,” and many more Sinatra classics.

The 75th Anniversary includes a robust mix of classics, pops and special performances, with some truly innovative and attention-grabbing programs scheduled. The entire season schedule can be viewed at www.phoenixsymphony.org.

Season ticket packages and single ticket sales are now available to the general public.

All audience members attending The Phoenix Symphony’s concerts will be required to show either a negative Covid-19 test taken within 72 hours (3 days) of the performance OR proof of vaccination against COVID-19 with a vaccine authorized by the Centers for Disease Control PLUS a photo ID.

In addition, all guests attending Symphony Hall, ASU Gammage and Orpheum performances must maintain appropriate face coverings in accordance with current CDC guidelines except when eating or drinking

The Phoenix Symphony was founded in 1947, and has grown over the years to become one of the state’s largest performing arts organizations. Its 75th Anniversary season comes on the heels of the cancellation of the 2020-21 season, and provides a unique opportunity to not only celebrate the organization’s history, but to celebrate its return as well.
