Colors in Spring

Sunday, March 15, 2026

Three composers, one season—Double Steinway Artist James D’León returns with his acclaimed trio in a vibrant spring program of color, rhythm, and reflection featuring works by Higdon, Rachmaninoff, and Mendelssohn.

Dances and Dialogue

Sunday, May 3, 2026

The husband-and-wife team of Katherine McLin (violin) and Andrew Campbell (piano) leads this violin–piano journey from Baroque elegance and Korngold’s Shakespeare scenes to the late-Romantic drama of Brahms, dances from Henry Flurry and Piazzolla, and Ashokan Farewell.

Performance Prelude: In The Artist’s Words

On each Thursday before the concert, we offer a social hour and an interactive presentation with one of AZ Phil’s musicians. You’ll gain insight into their art and into the upcoming concert.

Light hors d’oeuvres and drinks will be offered.

Coming up: Double Steinway Artist James D’León (piano) leads Performance Prelude—In the Artist’s Words at Mountain Artists Guild, in advance of the March concert, Colors in Spring: Fire, Light, and Renewal. James will share how he approaches chamber music from the inside: what he listens for first, how rehearsals take shape, and how a program finds its character. Expect an open conversation, musical insight, and time for questions.

Thursday, March 12, 3:30 pm – 5:00 pm at the Mountain Artists Guild, 228 N Alarcon, Prescott.

Arizona Philharmonic’s 2025–2026 season, USA 250, celebrates the 250th year of the United States of America with a series of concerts featuring American composers—each offering a distinctive perspective on music’s power to move, question, and delight.

Beginning October 5, Season 8 invites you to experience the breadth of American compositional voices—spanning lyricism, innovation, emotion, and cultural depth. Each concert features one or more American composers whose contributions help shape the evolving identity of classical music in the United States.

Celebrate America’s 250th Birthday by applauding the composers of majestic music brought to life by Arizona Philharmonic’s professional musicians. From Samuel Barber’s poignant Adagio to Jennifer Higdon‘s dynamic representation of colors, this season invites you to hear the many tones of America—past and present, melancholy and bold, lyrical and strong.
