CHANDLER, Ariz. - Baby, it’s hot outside, but it’s cool at the CCA! Chandler Center for the Arts will open its doors for 24th Annual Free Summer Concert Series, sponsored by Intel.
The five-performance in-person series will start on Friday, July 23 at 7:30 p.m., with Notes from Neptune, and will include concerts throughout the month of August from Kim Weston Jazz Quartet, Sandra Bassett Motown Revue, Marmalade Skies, and legendary local Blues artist Big Pete Pearson.
“This year's Summer Concert Series is our way of welcoming the community back to our space, as well as helping residents transition to in-person performances,” says Michelle Mac Lennan, Arts & Culture Manager. “These concerts will be presented on our main stage with limited capacity and socially distanced seating. We will also live stream each performance so people can enjoy the music at home.”
All in-person seats are free of charge with general seating on a first-come, first-served basis. Doors open one hour prior to show time. The health and safety of patrons, volunteers and staff is the Center's highest priority. Following CDC guidelines, patrons who are unvaccinated are encouraged to maintain a minimum of six feet from other patrons, as well as wear a well-fitting mask over their nose and mouth, to reduce their risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19.
While enjoying the Friday evening concerts, attendees can cool off with a soda, wine, beer or the evening’s drink special. Each summer concert will feature exclusive flash ticket sales for upcoming performances and attendees can explore The Gallery at CCA to view Take a Hike, an exhibition inspired by Arizona’s incredible parks, trails and public lands.
Whether you are attending in-person or want a front-row experience at home, we would love to know you are joining us. RSVP is not required to attend in person or virtually.
Those who register for the live stream will receive a link to access the one-time performance two hours before show time.
