Dear Friends,
As we look ahead to the New Year, it is with a spirit of gratitude that we reflect on what has been accomplished and all that will be achieved in the months ahead. With your steadfast support, our Symphony serves Phoenix and Arizona both on and off the stage.
Our 2024-25 Season is one of astonishing breadth and variety, with programs that reflect our dynamic and vibrant community. We invite you to join us on the exciting journey as we search for the Symphony’s next Virginia G. Piper Music Director. You will not want to miss the guest conductors on our classical series who will lead concerts performed by our superb musicians and exceptional guest artists.
Our extensive community engagement and education programs reach an economically and ethnically diverse group of more than 100,000 participants each year. Engaging multiple generations, our four concentrations include education and lifelong learning, health and wellness initiatives, Mind Over Music®, and research.
Our extraordinary musicians live and work in our community, and some have been members of the orchestra for decades. We are fortunate to have remarkable members of our Board and Foundation Board, along with other devoted community leaders who guide and support our work. In addition, our outstanding staff is making important contributions to advance the Phoenix Symphony and fulfill our mission.
Whether you are a lifelong resident of our community, or a more recent arrival like me, this is your Symphony. Together – with your help and engagement – we are making exciting progress and becoming an even more dynamic organization that is an integral and indispensable part of Phoenix and Arizona. Your Phoenix Symphony is truly a Symphony for All.
Thank you for your passion and engagement that is essential to sustaining and advancing one of Arizona’s most important cultural assets. If you have comments or suggestions, please contact me at [email protected].
Best wishes for a joyful holiday season and a wonderful new year.
Sincerely,
Peter Kjome
President and CEO
