Experience Local Culture: Soundcheck Music Series at Phoenix Art Museum

Update Springtime Vibes with Live Music at Phoenix Art Museum The sounds of live music will echo through the Phoenix Art Museum this spring, thanks to the continuation of the highly anticipated Soundcheck series. Taking place every Third Thursday of the month from 6-7 p.m., this event will see a diverse lineup of local and regional bands perform in the beautiful Dorrance Sculpture Garden. With a stunning outdoor backdrop, it’s the perfect setting to enjoy unplugged performances while savoring the natural surroundings. A Dynamic Lineup to Look Forward To Starting on January 15, attendees can enjoy the energetic rhythms of the Phoenix Afrobeat Orchestra.

Reimagining the Musical Experience The Soundcheck series replaces the previous Amplified event, marking a shift towards a more curated musical experience.
