Performances coming to Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts in February

Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts continues the 2022-23 season with new performances in February.

From an American jazz bassist and a performance of Beethoven’s greatest work to a Broadway star known for his roles as Valjean and Enjolras in “Les Misérables” and the post-Valentine’s Day classical date night, Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts has a little something for everyone this February.

Below is the schedule of concerts and other performances at Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts in February (subject to change):

  • Friday, Feb. 3, 8 p.m.: Christian McBride’s New Jawn. American jazz bassist Christian McBride is a luminary with one hand ever reaching for new heights and the other extended in fellowship — and perhaps the hint of a challenge — inviting us to join him.
  • Wednesday, Feb. 15, and Thursday, Feb. 16, 7:30 p.m.: KODO. Exploring the limitless possibilities of the traditional Japanese drum, the taiko, KODO is forging new directions for a vibrant living art form.
  • Sunday, Feb. 19, 4 p.m.: Scottsdale Philharmonic. The Scottsdale Philharmonic performs Beethoven’s ninth symphony with Melissa Solomon, Patti Graetz, Ted Zimnicki and Jeffery Stevens as featured soloists.
  • Tuesday, Feb. 21, 7:30 p.m.: Musical Valentines with Jeffrey Siegel. Find a little something sweet with Musical Valentines as Jeffrey Siegel waxes romantic with the love-inspired music of Liszt, Chopin, Schumann and more.
  • Wednesday, Feb. 22, 7:30 p.m.: Marc-André Hamelin. “A performer of near-superhuman technical prowess” according to The New York Times, pianist Marc-André Hamelin is known for his unrivaled blend of consummate musicianship and technique in the great works of the established repertoire.
  • Thursday, Feb. 23–26, various times: Robert Dubac’s Stand-Up Jesus. With shows like “The Male Intellect: An Oxymoron?,” Robert Dubac draws on decades of showbiz experience as a writer, actor and stand-up comic to explore social mores, political ideas and the complexity of the human experience. Now he’s back with “Stand-Up Jesus,” an irreverent look at reverence.
  • Friday, Feb. 24, 8 p.m.: Ramin Karimloo with Seth Rudetsky. Ramin Karimloo is an Olivier and Tony Award nominee who made his name in some of the West End’s most enduring productions, most notably “Phantom of the Opera” and “Les Misérables.”
