In solidarity with the The Phoenix Symphony Musicians, this is good news! We are hoping for the best possible outcomes in ongoing negotiations for the musicians 🙏💓🎶

Joint Statement – November 2, 2026

Representatives of the Phoenix Symphony’s Board of Directors, Staff, and Local 586, American Federation of Musicians met today for a respectful, constructive conversation about the Symphony’s future. All participants left the meeting encouraged by the progress made toward our shared goal of returning the orchestra to the stage.

The central items discussed included the meaningful fundraising progress made over the past week and a plan to resume performances, possibly as soon as this month. We also agreed that the Symphony Musicians, Board, and Staff will collaborate on fundraising to support the Symphony.

We appreciate the spirit of cooperation reflected in today’s critical discussion. Continued dialogue and community support will be essential as we work together to bring live symphonic music back to our audiences and community.

Make Music San Diego: Help Bring a Free, Countywide Day of Music to San Diego!

Imagine live music in every corner of San Diego County on one day: parks, plazas, libraries, street corners and front porches. That’s Make Music Day. It’s held every June 21 in more than 2,000 cities worldwide and 150+ U.S. cities, and plans are underway to launch it across San Diego County on June 21, 2027.

San Diego ART Matters invites everyone to a free info session:

📅 Wednesday, October 28 | 10:00–11:30 am
📍 Museum of Making Music, 5790 Armada Dr, Carlsbad
🎟 Free RSVP includes museum admission, a museum tour, refreshments and free parking

Aaron Friedman, Founder and Executive Director of the Make Music Alliance, will share the history of Make Music Day and how communities can start their own celebrations. City leaders, arts organizations, businesses, educators, venues and music lovers are all welcome.

For professional and union musicians, here’s why this session matters:

🎺 Help shape it from day one. Make Music Day concerts are always free to the public. Its guidelines also let artists and venues make their own arrangements to pay performers. If professional musicians help plan San Diego’s version now, paid professional performances can be part of the plan from the start.

🎻 The format suits public performance funding. The Music Performance Trust Fund has supported free, live public concerts by professional musicians since 1948. Make Music Day concerts may be a natural fit. AFM Local 325 members can contact the Local 325 office to learn more.

🤝 Meet the people who present music. Civic leaders, venues and organizations from across the county will be in the room.

🎶 Connect with the Museum of Making Music, a signature program of the NAMM Foundation. The museum hosts live performances and brings music to thousands of students every year.

Local musicians already know how special this day can be. Westwind Brass performed at Make Music Day twice last year!

RSVP: https://sdartmatters.org/make-music-san-diego/

Please share with the musicians, teachers and music lovers in your life.
