We have reached not only the United States and Canada but have reached other countries including, Australia, Germany, Japan, Morocco, New Caledonia, Spain and United Kingdom with the streaming concerts.

We are so thrilled our streaming concerts are keeping our world in good spirits using the art of music! Total viewings reached 400 as of the beginning of last weekWe have decided to extend our next performance, SwingTime, starting Tuesday, July 14 through Monday, Aug. 10. If you are not familiar with SwingTime, they are all local musicians from Sun City West.

Do not forget to check out The Arizona Wildflowers streaming now through Monday, Aug. 31 and T.A. Burrows from Tuesday, Aug. 25 through Monday, Aug. 31.

We have received some great feedback from our viewers and thank them again for their support!

“I heard about the Sun City West streaming concert videos through the enewsletter, I knew that this would be fun to enjoy the streaming concerts on our big screen TV plus surround sound system. We usually purchase takeout food or make a special meal to enjoy the concert within our comfortable recliners. Since there are no dancing events going on right now, we can dance to the music in our living room. I knew that the concerts were going to be top notch musicians when I purchased the season pass. What a deal! So far, our favorite concerts have been ‘The Arizona Wildflowers’ and ‘The Band of Brothers.’ Because my personal health is affected by air conditioners, I cannot attend most events, and this was a great way to enjoy these concerts in my own environment. These streaming concerts would benefit those whose health has been impacted by their inability to get out of their home. I hope you will continue the streaming concerts for years to come. Thank you for putting together the streaming concerts.” — Joan.

“I am a season ticket holder for the Summer Streaming Series. I like this as an option during this time of closure due to the pandemic. Purchasing the season pass was simple and the access to concerts is also simple. Because Gordon Lightfoot is a favorite singer/songwriter, I really enjoyed this week’s concert. I have watched it twice so far and will watch it again for sure. I watch the series on my laptop. I also enjoy having the access throughout the week for convenient watching. I look forward to the rest of the concerts (especially looking forward to Swingtime since we know the performers.” — Judd.

“Just letting you know I am really enjoying the shows. This has been a great idea. I like being able to watch at my convenience and giving us the week to be able to watch is very nice. Great job to you and the staff for coming up with a creative work around for our shows during this season we are in.” — Tora.
