@itsnataliezee: Please listen to the Phoenix Symphony’s last performance before 66 musicians are laid off due to the Board’s decision to suspend the season 2 weeks after the season began. Questions remain as to financial accountability, transparency, and whether the Board followed its fiduciary duty. Now, because of the Board’s decision, 66 musicians and their families are uncertain about their future. Support the arts, support musicians, and support live music. Follow the Phoenix Symphony’s Musicians on Instagram and Facebook to learn more about the musicians and how to help. #phoenixsymphony #livemusician #classicalmusic #symphony #classicalmusictiktok
I’m heartbroken for them. I was privileged to see them once years ago and was moved to tears. 🥺

Very sad to see. My San Antonio Symphony went through the same thing after 100+ years being a cultural staple. We still don’t have a proper replacement after 4+ years.

Beautiful music😭💕 this is terrible for them I suspect the board members have always been misappropriating funds, I used to work for the classical music world and it’s not far fetched. We’re the 5th largest city in the US and with no symphony? it’s embarrassing, I hope they restructure their board to manage this better for sustainability. We deserve to listen to musicians and have the arts available to enjoy.

I don’t know how the wind instruments were able to play through this. I’d be sobbing into my mouth piece squeaking out notes.

So sad when the arts go first or second in a financially tough year. I bet there's tons of support for the Phoenix Sun or the Arizona Cardinals. So sad!

I had to play through this piece so many times without crying because it’s just so beautiful, I couldn’t imagine having to perform it as an actual farewell. My heartbreaks for the musicians of the Phoenix Symphony. I hope they will be able to perform together again soon 😢
