Join the Arizona Philharmonic as it concludes its spectacular eighth season with "Dances and Dialogue: Courtship, Crossings and Celebration" on Sunday, May 3, 2026. This intimate chamber music experience features the husband-and-wife duo of concertmaster Katherine McLin and pianist Andrew Campbell. Known for their virtuosity and magnetic stage presence, the pair will perform at the Ruth Street Theater (1050 Ruth Street, Prescott) starting at 3:00 p.m., preceded by an insightful pre-concert talk at 2:00 p.m.

The program offers a sweeping journey through three centuries of musical conversation, blending Baroque elegance with Romantic depth and vibrant global dance traditions. Attendees will enjoy a diverse repertoire ranging from the graceful lines of Leclair and the emotional intensity of Brahms to the theatrical flair of Korngold’s Much Ado About Nothing. The afternoon also spotlights contemporary American voices, including Ellen Taaffe Zwilich and Jay Ungar, as part of the Arizona Philharmonic’s USA 250 season celebrating the nation’s upcoming 250th anniversary.

From the fiery energy of Manuel de Falla’s Danse espagnole to the rhythmic spirit of Astor Piazzolla’s tango, this season finale promises a world-class display of musicianship and storytelling. Whether you are a longtime classical enthusiast or a first-time attendee, this performance provides a reflective and celebratory close to the season.
