Welcome to the 2012-2013 Pinnacle Concert Series.

Welcome to the 2012-2013 Pinnacle Concert Series season. As we begin our fourteenth season, we are especially excited to bring a variety of musical styles and outstanding performances to our venue. Many of your favorites such as the Celebration of Christmas and the Phoenix Symphony offerings, including the annual Messiah, will return. In addition we are pleased to introduce two extraordinary new talents to you.

Umi Garrett is a star in the making, and this is one talented eleven-year-old pianist you will certainly be hearing from in the future. The Manhattan Piano Trio is a dynamic young string and piano group that already boasts more than 300 concerts in its first five years.

Also this year we are pleased to feature several fine groups from our own backyard – The Shrine of the Ages Choir from Northern Arizona University, and from the University of Arizona, UA Steel, a pulsating steel drum group, and Pamela Decker, an effervescent organist. Rounded out by the fine choral sound of the Westmont College Choir, we know there will be something for everyone.

In addition, our Time Out for the Arts series takes advantage of the many talented artists in the greater Phoenix community as well as offering music education opportunities featuring local and national musicians. We urge you to come join our celebration!

Once again we are making several ticket purchase levels available for your convenience and enjoyment. More information regarding ticket purchases is available by phoning 480-303-2472. Tickets for each concert sell quickly so I urge you to save the dates and place your ticket orders as soon as possible.

We look forward to having you join us this November as the 2012-2013 Pinnacle Concert season gets under way.

Sincerely,

Brent Hylton
Musical Director
