Scottsdale Philharmonic

08/27/2026

This Sunday at 4:00 PM, Jennifer Sheldon takes the podium as Guest Conductor for the largest Scottsdale Philharmonic performance we have ever presented!

Many of our concertgoers already know Jennifer as a Scottsdale Philharmonic Artist in Residence and for her incredible talent as a soprano. But Jennifer is also an accomplished conductor and music director, and this Sunday she will lead the full Scottsdale Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra alongside the brand-new Scottsdale Philharmonic Chorale for its debut performance.

More musicians. More voices. More energy on stage than ever before. And Jennifer will be at the center of it all, conducting this historic first performance.

🎼 Featuring:

Schubert — Mass in G
Bach — Brandenburg Concerto No. 3
Grofé — Mississippi Suite
Smetana — Dance of the Comedians
Smetana — Opening Chorus from The Bartered Bride
Mozart — Non Più Andrai

Jennifer brings an impressive background to the podium as an accomplished soprano, conductor and music director. She has performed with orchestras throughout the United States and has previously guest conducted the National Lutheran Choir.

This Sunday, she takes on something especially meaningful right here at home: leading Scottsdale Philharmonic's biggest performance yet as our new Chorale makes its debut alongside the full symphony.
