For the first time in Prescott, enjoy a new take on the music of the holidays with A Renaissance Christmas, Sunday December 8, 3:00pm at the acoustically exquisite Ruth Street Theater on the Prescott High School grounds.

Featuring Arizona Philharmonic musicians on violin, cello, oboe, recorder, chamber organ, harpsichord and percussion and a quartet of singers, you will be transported through the festive landscapes of Europe. This unique and intimate concert evokes the timeless splendor of the season, from the beautiful carols and motets of the British Isles to the lively Spanish villancicos and elegant French noëls.

From the Concert Lecture Series to the Standing Ovations,

AZ Phil and Prescott Chorale put on an Outstanding Show

“Messiah never gets old. There is always something fresh and new in Messiah. When you consider it was written in early 1700s and is still vibrant and loved, it is timeless.”  - Dennis Houser, Artistic Director Prescott Chorale

So many audience members came prepared to sing and participate in the magic of Messiah, and the AZ Phil volunteers took good care of them all. We are always welcoming new volunteers, see the link below to join us.

Nonprofit Numbers: What does it take to sustain an orchestra?  - Abby Coffey, Executive Director

In the evolving landscape of arts funding, arts nonprofits everywhere face challenges as they balance high-quality products that benefit the community with a ticket cost that invites participation. The very nature of a nonprofit creates this disconnect between earning enough in product or ticket sales to run the organization. If this were possible, a for-profit organization would do it! Donations from individuals, foundations and government entities have become more crucial than ever for sustaining local cultural institutions that play a vital role in preserving and promoting classical music.
