Dear Friends,
As spring arrives, I am inspired by the extraordinary music and energy that fill our concert hall and community. We are making important progress, thanks to the dedication of our board members, musicians, staff, and the remarkable support of our community. Your attendance, advocacy, and support have fostered a superb ensemble that is one of Arizona’s greatest cultural assets.
This week, we will announce a spectacular 2025/26 Season. It will be filled with exceptional programs, renowned guest artists, treasured holiday concerts, and thrilling special events. We invite you to subscribe and join your Phoenix Symphony as we embark on an exciting journey through the amazing world of live music.
This season has been a testament to the power of music to connect, uplift, and inspire. Enabled by your passion, attendance, and support, we have shared unforgettable performances that have touched hearts and inspired minds. We are deeply thankful for your enthusiastic support.
Beyond the concert hall, our Community Engagement and Education programs bring the power of music to people across our diverse community. Our education programs continue to ignite a love of music in young minds, with thousands of students experiencing the joy of live orchestral performances.
We are honored to collaborate with the Phoenix Holocaust Association for the 2025 Holocaust Remembrance Day Commemoration on Sunday, April 27, following our concert. We invite you to Symphony Hall as our community remembers this significant moment in history.
None of this would be possible without you. Whether you attend concerts, provide philanthropic support, or share your enthusiasm with others, you are an essential part of our Phoenix Symphony family. Your support is vital as we sustain and advance our Symphony and ensure that our community is home to an exceptional orchestra for many years to come.
Whether you are a lifelong resident of Phoenix and Arizona or a relatively recent arrival like me, this is your Symphony. Our amazing musicians live and work in our community. Because of you, our orchestra plays a vital role in civic and community life, with our musicians acting as ambassadors, advocates, and educators for the benefit of Arizona residents. Thank you.

With gratitude,
Peter Kjome
President and CEO
