PHOENIX It’s been nearly a year since COVID-19 hit in a way that many could never imagine.
Though much has changed, one thing still remains: the power of music to soothe during a time of chaos.
The Musicians of the Phoenix Symphony have made it their mission to offer a bit of calm as Arizonans make it through these difficult times.
Art Detour is back and bigger than ever.
This year what was once a weeklong art walk celebrates art not just in Phoenix, but across Arizona, for more than a month.
Through March 31, Art Detour will feature more than 300 arts activities and connect art lovers with special shows at art galleries, arts and culture organizations, arts-supporting businesses and visual and performing artists.
The annual event is put on by Artlink Inc., a nonprofit that supports local artists, art initiatives and events including First and Third Fridays.
“We want these 33 days to feel completely different from any other set of 33 days,” said Catrina Kahler, Artlink president and CEO.

PHOENIX In a non-pandemic year, Arizona venues would filling with crowds of people ready to cheers and party. This year however, those traditionally larger celebrations will sit quiet.
For the Arizona live events industry, 2020’s New Year’s Eve is unlike any other. Viviana Cumplido-Wilson, the principal flutist with the Phoenix Symphony, says her New Year s Eve will be very quiet for the first time in her career.
“It’s definitely unusual for us to not be ringing in the new year in front of a big audience, Cumplido-Wilson said.
Thomas Turner, Founder of Relentless Beats, says his yearly New Year s Eve show, Decadence, is canceled.
