Community Chats with AZ Phil
New this season, Arizona Philharmonic partners with Yavapai College’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) for a series of free classes. Each session takes you behind the music with our artists and conductor, exploring the ideas, stories, and techniques that shape a performance. Each class is offered a few days before its companion concert, so you arrive ready to listen with a deeper ear.
Classes are held on the Yavapai College campus and are free and open to the public. Advance registration through OLLI is required.
