Scottsdale Philharmonic Invites Community to Dec. 4 Concert

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - EntSun -- The Scottsdale Philharmonic is excited to have music lovers attend its next concert on Sunday, Dec. 4 , 4-6 p.m., at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts.

Conducted by the newly-hired, full-time, world-class principal conductor Maestro Dmitry Polyakov, the concert will include Chopin's "Piano Concerto No. 1" with piano solo by QingQing Ye, Mozart's "Voi che sapete", and Schubert's "Symphony No. 8 Unfinished."

"Our first concert of the season in October received enthusiastic applause and standing ovations," says Joy Partridge, President and Co-Founder of the Scottsdale Philharmonic. "We are so lucky and privileged that internationally-acclaimed conductor Dmitry Polyakov has become a major part of our orchestra as we begin our newest vision of seeing the Scottsdale Philharmonic become a major symphony in Arizona.

"We are talking with Scottsdale Mayor David Ortega and the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts about adding an Annual Children's Concert for all grade school children and a series of three Pops Concerts in our upcoming concert seasons," Partridge adds. "Our vision is that all elementary school students in Scottsdale will be able to experience classical music through a special concert geared towards them, such as Prokofiev's 'Peter and the Wolf'."

Contributions to this program will allow us to develop our new vision of a first-class symphony in Scottsdale and build a great symphonic orchestra performing unforgettable concerts.
