Lee Ann Womack, Chita Rivera and more to perform at Musicfest
The 27th season of Arizona Musicfest will feature 35 performances throughout Fall Fest, taking place November 3 through 17, and the Winter Festival, which will take place from January 26 to March 16.
“Our goal is a concert schedule that coincides with the metro area’s incredibly varied musical appetite,” says Arizona Musicfest executive and producing director, Allan Naplan. “At the same time, our mission also is to provide music education programs to area students and schools, important performance opportunities and financial assistance to aspiring young musicians, and lifelong learning programs to the entire community.”
Performances will encompass all genres — with artists such as country star Lee Ann Womack, Broadway performer Chita Rivera, trumpeter Doc Severinsen and The Festival Orchestra with Maestro Robert Moody.
