The Scottsdale Philharmonic announced that season tickets for its upcoming 2024-25 season are now available.
“Many of our recent concerts have sold out so we encourage classical music lovers to get their season tickets today so they’re set for the season,” says Joy Partridge, Executive Director of the Scottsdale Philharmonic. “Proceeds from the season tickets also help us with concert expenses incurred during the summer months, before the start of the season.”
Concerts will be held at La Casa de Cristo Lutheran Church, 6300 E. Bell Rd. in Scottsdale, on the following Sundays from 4-6 p.m.:
– Oct. 13—“Tchaikovsky’s Italian Masterpiece”
– Nov. 17—“The Great Organ Symphony”
– Dec. 8—“Holiday Concert Celebration”
– Feb. 9—“Valentine’s Day Concert”
– April 6—“The Great Scheherazade”
– May 11—“Beethoven’s Lyrical Odyssey”
– June 29—“Independence Day Concert”
Tickets are available online at www.scottsdalephilharmonic.com, or by calling 480-951-6077.
“The Scottsdale Philharmonic has become a valley-wide symphony,” Partridge explains. “This is why we offer free live streaming for all concerts, low ticket prices, and free tickets to all students, Active Military/Veterans, and anyone who needs financial assistance but still wants to experience the joy of classical music.
“In addition to offering free concert tickets to students, we’re cultivating the next generation of music enthusiasts by immersing youth in symphonic music–offering free instruments and scholarships,” Partridge explains. “Visit our website for more information about our youth programs.
“As we announced earlier this year, we have appointed Vanja Gjumar Nikolovski as our Principal Resident Conductor for next season,” says Partridge. “Maestro Nikolovski graduated with majors in conducting and composition from the Saints Cyril and Methodius University of Skopje Faculty of Music, Macedonia, and has conducted all over the world.”
The Scottsdale Philharmonic is a non-profit organization based in Scottsdale/Phoenix but performing all around the Valley. The Philharmonic does not receive financial support from any cities/towns. Although the group charges for tickets, this income only covers about one-third of the costs. Therefore, the other two-thirds of its support must come from individual donors. “If you appreciate classical music and would like to help us fulfill our mission, please visit the website to make a donation today,” Partridge says.
Individual concert tickets are available for $20-$35, and can be purchased online at www.scottsdalephilharmonic.com.

Tickets are now available for the Scottsdale Philharmonic’s first concert of 2024 on Sunday, Feb. 4. The concert begins at 4 p.m., and will be held at the North Canyon Performing Arts Center, 1700 E. Union Hills Dr., in Phoenix, 85024.
“We are thrilled to be in our 12th season of bringing classical music to the Valley with an expanded concert schedule and resuming of our youth orchestra (paused because of Covid),” explains Joy Partridge, Executive Director and co-founder of the Scottsdale Philharmonic. “Our two new venues for 2024, North Canyon Performing Arts Center and La Casa de Cristo Church, are able to hold 1,200 people and have ample, free parking for attendees.”
The Scottsdale Philharmonic’s musical selections for the Feb. 4 concert will include:
Beethoven’s “Choral Fantasy Op. 80” featuring ProMusica Arizona, the community chorale and orchestra of North Phoenix; Tchaikovsky’s “Swan Lake Suite”; and Lehar’s “Viljas Lied” with Melissa Soloman, soprano soloist. “We are excited to begin 2024 by presenting this masterful tribute to Beethoven, including a solo from critically-acclaimed pianists Vitaly Serebriakov and Svetlana Obregon Saens.”
Tickets are available for $20-$35, and can be purchased online at www.scottsdalephilharmonic.com. Season tickets also are available, and student and military/veterans’ tickets are available for free online.
The Scottsdale Philharmonic is dedicated to youth programs and building classical music awareness for children by providing free concert tickets to all students. A few of the programs currently in development include the Scottsdale Philharmonic Youth Orchestra, musical competitions for youth students, scholarships to help student musicians, and children’s concerts. “Students who are interested in our youth orchestra program are invited to attend our spring student workshops led by professional musicians,” explains Partridge.
“The vision of the Scottsdale Philharmonic becoming a valley-wide symphony is just beginning,” Partridge explains. “This is why we offer free live streaming for all concerts, low ticket prices, free tickets to all students and Active Military/Veterans, and now offer financial assistance for those patrons who may be unable to afford a ticket but still want to experience the joy of classical music.”
Other concert dates in 2024 are Sundays, March 17, May 5, June 30, Oct. 13 and Nov. 17. Attendees are asked to check the website for more details, especially venue location since the orchestra is using two different performance halls in 2024.
The Scottsdale Philharmonic is a non-profit organization. Although the group charges for tickets, this income only covers about 30 percent of the costs. Therefore, the other 70 percent of its support has to come from individual donors. “If you appreciate classical music and would like to help us fulfill our mission, please visit the website to make a donation today,” Partridge says. “Your donation can help make the difference.”
