This concert will be held at a later date, it has been postponed due to a death in the family.

The Mill Ave Chamber Players’ 17th season, entitled “Acts of Love” grew out of our long-held believe of growing roots in our community and connecting with causes that are personal to each one of us. This season we have partnered with organizations in Arizona and Mexico to bring awareness to the great work being done to serve our community.

We also have a new location for our concerts! This year we are thrilled to be holding our concerts at Short Leash Hot Dogs, a fixture of the Melrose District in central Phoenix. The owners, Brad and Kat, believe not only in using local ingredients but also partnering with neighbors who share similar values to create a better place to live.

Our first concert falls on Mexican Independence Day! We have partnered with the Secretary of Education and Culture Office of the State of Sonora to hold an instrument fundraiser for the Orquesta Filarmónica Juvenil Fray Ivo Toneck in Guaymas, Sonora. We had the chance to perform for students of the Orquesta and Conservatory this past January when we performed in Alamos and our first concert will featuring the music of Arturo Marquez, music of the Ballet Folklorico in Mexico, and more.

We are collecting instrument donations for the Youth Orchestra of Guaymas, any instruments that you have sitting in your closet that could use a great home, we would be happy to take to Sonora! We are also collecting donations to make sure all the instruments are repaired and purchasing extra reeds, strings, mouthpieces, and music with the donations.
