10 Concerts & Shows in Central City That You Shouldn't Miss

April 4, 2022 Lashaunda Abraham

Nearly perfect year-round weather and several impeccably designed championship courses have made Phoenix one of the top golf destinations in the world. But there's more to this mild-mannered metropolis than pristine greens and tee times. The greater Phoenix area also offers visitors an array of impressive cultural attractions. Visit the internationally renowned Heard Museum for an in-depth look at Native American history or peruse the fine collection at the Phoenix Museum of Art. Enjoy a ballet performance at the ornate Orpheum Theater or or catch a concert at the state-of-the-art Comerica Theatre. In addition to golf, the city offers access to numerous outdoor endeavors including rock climbing, hot-air ballooning, desert jeep tours and more. Family-friendly attractions, first-rate shopping, dining and entertainment, and spectacular recreational activities make Phoenix a must-visit destination.

Phoenix Symphony

Reviewed By SDDPHOTO - Fountain Hills, United States

Guest artist Augustin Hadelich was brilliant playing Concerto in D major for violin and Orchestra Op. 61. It didn’t hurt that he was playing on a Stradivari violin. The audience was especially appreciative when he graciously played an encore piece that was both calming and magical. Originally from Cleveland Ohio I attended the Cleveland Orchestra from age 5. I’ve been in Arizona 35 years and had season tickets most of that time. Don’t miss a symphony performance if you are in town.

Orpheum Theater

Reviewed By L_Schafer_426 - Phoenix, United States

I've been here for a few events, I think this last event was enthralling. The Theater was built to play Silent Films, and I attended a Silent Sunday event.. accompanied by the Mighty Wurlitzer Pipe Organ, played by Brett Valliant. I'd liked Silent Films for some time, my wife, mmm not so much. But we saw "Sunrise - A Song of Two Humans" from William Fox. For both of us the experience was enthralling, the Organ cannot be appreciated outside the theater. It absorbs you and brings you into the world presented in the film. It's been sometime sense the world disappeared and I was pulled into an experience. Back in the day, the Orpheum Theaters, were built to be a destination which played movies and hosted events. Each cities movie palace reflected a trait of the city in which it was built. (I remember coming here when I was in grade school). The building went through a couple of other incarnations, but was restored by the city of Phoenix. Thankfully it was not knocked down and lost.

Herberger Theater Center

Reviewed By nanatravels2 - Phoenix, United States

that I never attended a performance here before. I thought the price of $7, in the paper, for a lunch time show was a mistake. It wasn't and the show was superb. This section is small and intimate, seating only around 100, with open seating and a chance to interact with the actors afterwards. What a delightful experience. One can even order lunch, although I prefer not to balance it on my lap. Tickets are generally available at the box office just prior to the show. There is even an evening performance, on Mon., for the same price.

Weve come here often for both comedy shows and concerts . It’s a great small venue with a circular rotating stage , so no real bad seats . It’s great times in the older vintage style theatre.
