SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Arizonar -- Following two successful season-opening performances in October featuring Mendelssohn's Fingal's Cave and Arensky's Symphony No. 1, Scottsdale Philharmonic will present its next concert program on Thursday, Nov. 12, from 7–9 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 15, from 4–6 p.m.

"We are excited to present regular Thursday night concerts to Scottsdale and the Greater Phoenix Valley," says Joy Partridge, executive director of the Scottsdale Philharmonic. "This season, we invite the community to come and enjoy beautiful, live, classical music. Whether Thursday evenings or Sunday afternoons fit your schedule best, both performances will provide the same professional concert experience.

"Our November concerts will feature Mozart's Symphony No. 40, Alfvén's Swedish Rhapsody No. 1, and performances by two of Scottsdale Philharmonic's Artists in Residence," Partridge explains. "Pianist QingQing Ye will perform Saint-Saëns' Piano Concerto No. 2, while soprano Jennifer Sheldon will perform Puccini's beautiful O mio babbino caro."
