Today the Liv Northgate Blog is celebrating Violin Day on December 13th with a few performances from the Phoenix Symphony. The Phoenix Symphony has been entertaining audiences in the Gilbert, AZ area since the 1940s. Violin Day is a celebration of one of our favorite instruments, so it only makes sense that we would feature our favorite symphony to celebrate. The three events we are featuring are just a sampling at the events coming to the Phoenix Symphony next month. We encourage you to look at the calendar now and get your tickets before they sell out — they go pretty fast. We know you’ll have a great time attending an event next year.

“Music Director Tito Muñoz leads a distinctly American program dedicated to the late composer, conductor, educator and humanitarian Leonard Bernstein. The concert is highlighted by Bernstein’s popular Symphonic Dances from West Side Story, and also explores the range and depth of the composer’s work. Opening with Divertimento, a lighthearted reflection of the composer’s storied relationship with The Boston Pops, the program also includes selections from the Bernstein archive including the choral work, Chichester Psalms, and Three Meditations from Mass, featuring The Phoenix Symphony’s principal cellist, Melita Hunsinger. “
