The Phoenix Symphony and its musicians, members of Professional Musicians of Arizona, American Federation of Musicians, Local 586, announced agreement on a new contract.
The Symphony made the announcement Monday.
The one-year agreement extends through Nov. 1, 2025, and reflects a shared commitment to serving Arizona as the state’s largest performing arts organization, the Symphony stated. The agreement reflects a performance season of 35 weeks and includes a 4% increase in weekly compensation, restoring two positions, and establishment of an insurance task force comprised of musicians, board members, and management.
“The Phoenix Symphony is one of Arizona’s most important cultural assets,” Symphony President and CEO Peter Kjome shared in a press release. “I appreciate the productive and collaborative conversations with our musicians as we work together with our board, staff, and other leaders with the support of our community to chart the course toward a bright future for our great orchestra and make that future a reality.”
