After Suspending Season, Phoenix Symphony to Resume Concerts

In Friday’s (11/6) Arizona Republic, Ed Masley writes, “The Phoenix Symphony will resume performances on Thursday, Nov. 12, after a concentrated fundraising effort secured sufficient commitments to lift the suspension of the 2026-27 season announced Oct. 20. The return comes less than three weeks after a severe cash shortage forced the symphony to announce the suspension of its 2026–27 season following a concert on Sunday, Nov. 1. The 66 musicians were laid off without pay on Monday, Nov. 2, the day after what was thought to be their final concert of the season. The musicians will return to work as the suspension lifts. ‘If this challenge has reaffirmed anything for me, it’s that every corner of our city shares a deep passion for the Phoenix Symphony,’ Mo Stein, chair of the Phoenix Symphony Association Board of Directors, said in a statement…. The musicians of the Phoenix Symphony also issued a statement saying they are ‘deeply grateful to the donors, audiences, and community members who stepped forward over the past two weeks to support both the Musicians of the Phoenix Symphony and the Phoenix Symphony Association …’ Continuing the season into 2027 will require additional fundraising. The musicians have committed to working alongside the symphony’s administration and the board to help raise those funds.”

Get To This Arizona Lunch Counter Early Because The Porchetta On Fresh-Baked Bread Sells Out
