Scottsdale, AZ, January 08, 2020 --(PR.com)-- The Scottsdale Philharmonic has announced the start of its eighth season with a free classical music concert on Sunday, Feb. 9.

“We’re excited to continue our mission of providing classical music to people of all ages in 2020,” says Joy Partridge, co-founder of the Scottsdale Philharmonic. “The concerts are great entertainment for the whole family.”

The Feb. 9 concert will feature music from composers Bizet and Rossini, and will be held at La Casa de Cristo Lutheran Church, 6300 E. Bell Rd., Scottsdale. Seating is on a first-come, first-serve basis, so attendees are encouraged to arrive early. VIP reserved seating is available for a $15 donation at www.scottsdalephilharmonic.com.

“Last year, we expanded our mission with the start of a Youth Orchestra that held its first concert in November,” Partridge explains. Scottsdale Philharmonic Youth Orchestra is a full symphony orchestra sponsored by the Scottsdale Philharmonic under the direction of Dr. Daniel Atwood. Rehearsals are on Tuesdays from 7 to 9 p.m. at the New Vision Center, 18010 N. Tatum Blvd., Phoenix. To audition, email carl@scottsdalephilharmonic.com to arrange an audition time.
