PHOENIX – More than 50 guests joined The Phoenix Symphony Young Professionals for an evening of networking, dining and music at the hip Tuft & Needle Headquarters in downtown Phoenix. The historic Grand Avenue building was first constructed in 1917 and housed a local hardware store. Today, the spacious and bright interior functions as an open concept workspace and incubator for innovative new designs and products on the T&N drawing board.

Guests mingled as they enjoyed cocktails and an assortment of Italian nosh by The Rocket, the North Italia food truck complete with a 700-degree wood-burning pizza oven.

Attendees enjoyed an eclectic mix of music performed by Phoenix Symphony musicians Peter Anderegg, Acting Assistant Principal Cello; Leslie Anderegg, Acting Assistant Principal Second Violin; Karen Sinclair, First Violin; Vivian Cumplido Wilson, Principal Flute and Christopher McKay, Acting Assistant Principal Viola.

Now in its seventh season, Parties of Note is a one-of-a-kind program offering a unique opportunity to spend an evening in an intimate setting with Symphony musicians and friends, while enjoying a gourmet meal in some of the Valley's finest homes and unique venues.
