Relive the powerful season finale of the Scottsdale Symphonic Orchestra’s 2025–2026 season: Dreams of Freedom: The American Experience. 🎶

From the drama of Beethoven’s Leonore Overture No. 3 to the reflective beauty of Barber’s Adagio for Strings, the vivid color of Michael Daugherty’s Night Owl, the unmistakable energy of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue with pianist José Salazar, and the optimism of Copland’s Outdoor Overture, this concert brought our season to a stirring close.

Thank you to our musicians, audience members, donors, volunteers, and community partners for making this season possible. We are grateful to share this music with you and thankful for everyone who helped bring another unforgettable season to life.

❤️ Thank you for being part of "Dreams of Freedom: The American Experience".

As we reflect on this past weekend’s season finale, we are incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts and helped make the afternoon so memorable.

From the dramatic opening of Beethoven’s Leonore Overture No. 3 to the final moments of Daugherty’s Night Owl, this concert celebrated the many colors and emotions of American orchestral music. Hearing Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue come alive with pianist José Salazar, experiencing the stillness and emotional depth of Barber’s Adagio for Strings, and sharing these moments together reminded us why live music continues to matter so deeply.

To our musicians, guest artists, volunteers, donors, staff, and audience members: thank you for being part of this season. Every rehearsal, every performance, and every shared moment in the concert hall contributes to something larger than ourselves—a community brought together through music.

And while one season has ended, another exciting chapter is already ahead.

✨ We are thrilled to share our newly announced 2026–2027 season, featuring inspiring programs, returning favorites, and new musical experiences to discover together.
