For many, our beloved concert series defines the beginning of the holiday season in southern Arizona.

Once again, this year’s series will comprise just four concerts so tickets will sell fast. Invitations go out to our Concert Friends in early October. Concert Friends are people who have made a philanthropic gift of $100 or more to Patronato’s Annual Fund, Project Restricted Fund or Permanent Endowment. Click here to learn more!
