'Concert Truck' in Chandler for third straight year

A concert hall on wheels returns to Chandler early next month when The Concert Truck brings free live music to locations throughout the city.

From Oct. 7-11, presented by Chandler Center for the Arts and led by pianist and Concert Truck co-founder Susan Zhang, the truck is like a musical "Transformer" on wheels.

The 16-foot box truck opens up to become a fully equipped mobile concert hall, complete with a grand piano, lights and sound system, ready to turn just about anywhere it can park into a concert venue.

This marks the third consecutive year Chandler Center for the Arts has brought The Concert Truck to locations across the city, part of CCA’s ongoing commitment to expanding access to live arts experiences beyond the walls of the Center.

Zhang will be joined by violinist Alena Hove for a series of pop-up performances at locations throughout Chandler.

The complete public schedule will include performances at Chandler Nature Center, Downtown Chandler Farmers Market, and the Chandler Museum.

See the Chandler public performance schedule in the box on the left side of this story.
