The Arizona Winds Announces its 2021-2022 Concert Season in its new venue
The Arizona Winds, one of the oldest and most highly acclaimed performing groups in Greater Phoenix, is ready to bring its unique brand of musical entertainment back to life following its nearly 18-month pandemic-generated hiatus. The 46-year-old musical organization will host a regular season of five new and exciting community concerts beginning Sunday, October 17th in its new performance venue, The Vista Center for the Arts, 15660 N. Parkview Place, Surprise. “We are so excited to begin performing again and doing so in a dedicated performing arts center that is so much more conducive to live musical performance. And, with 1,300 seats, the new venue is much larger and more audience-friendly than our previous venue”, stated the band’s Music Director and Conductor, Lieutenant Colonel, USAF (Ret.) Rich Shelton. Concert dates are October 17 & December 12, 2021, and February 20, April 10 and June 5, 2022. All concerts begin at 3:00 p.m. Doors open at 2:00.
Mark your calendars now…you won’t want to miss a beat!
Sincerely,
Rich Shelton, Lt. Col USAF (Ret.)
Music Director and Conductor
