The Phoenix Symphony will return to the stage on Nov. 12 after securing enough funding to lift the season’s suspension, the organization’s board of directors said Friday. Performances will resume through Dec. 31. The organization said it will need additional fundraising to continue into the 2027 season. “We are relieved to be coming back, and we are grateful to everyone who refused to let this orchestra go silent,” said Bridget Pasker, Associate Principal Cello and Orchestra Committee Co-Chair. “Keeping the music playing past December 31 will take all of us, and the musicians are ready to do our part.”66 musicians were laid off on Nov. 2, following what was scheduled to be their final concert of the year. The musicians are holding a benefit concert this Sunday, Nov. 8, at Monroe Street Abbey in downtown Phoenix. It will raise money directly for musicians hurt by the layoff. The Board also announced the creation of a commission to develop a plan for the Symphony’s long-term financial future, which two musicians will serve on.“If this challenge has reaffirmed anything for me, it’s that every corner of our city shares a deep passion for the Phoenix Symphony,” said Mo Stein, chair of the Phoenix Symphony Association Board of Directors. “We faced a crisis, and a small group of community leaders, organizations and culture lovers responded with remarkable generosity. Their fast action and commitment have made it possible to bring our musicians back to the stage, while giving the Symphony an opportunity to fundamentally rethink how we operate and build a future worthy of this community’s support.”Tickets for concerts can be found by clicking here. “Just days ago, we faced the heartbreaking prospect of a silent concert hall and an uncertain future,” said Peter Kjome, the Symphony’s president and CEO. “Now we can welcome our musicians and audiences back. All of us are grateful for their dedication and for the Valley leaders and organizations who helped make this return possible.”See a spelling or grammatical error in our story?
