Desert Overture, with its more than 70 musicians, was formed in 2010 and remains a hidden cultural gem in the Valley of the Sun. The concert band is an active member of the Pride Bands Alliance, which has grown to 37-member bands across the country, as well as internationally. The group performs several major concerts each year.
The performance is presented in cooperation with the Tempe Center for the Arts gallery display, “Artology,” which explores the sciences through art. Concert goers are encouraged to attend the gallery exhibit before the concert, during intermission or afterward! Lab coats are optional.
“This concert is something different for us,” said Scott Helms, Desert Overture Artistic Director. “The mix of musical selections should really spark the audiences’ curiosity.”
