For the past 15 years, The Downtown Chamber Series has presented over 100 concerts in downtown Phoenix, that often pair the tried and true with a provocative contemporary voice: Local violist and Phoenix Symphony member, Mark Dix, is the visionary behind the project. He recalls the first concert that led to the series, reflects on the staying power of the series, and looks towards the June 10th collaborative performance with Cellist Ben Sollee at the MIM.

UPDATE: The June 10th Concert at the MIM is now SOLD OUT. The next Downtown Chamber Series Concerts are scheduled for August 10 & 13, featuring piano and strings, at the Phoenix Art Museum. Save the date, tickets tend to go very quickly!
