Scottsdale, AZ, January 19, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– The Scottsdale Philharmonic invites all classical music lovers to join them for its special Valentine’s concert on Sunday, Feb. 9.
The musical program for the “Melodies of Love and Romance” concert with Conductor Vanja Gjumar Nikolovski will include: – Borodin: Polovtsian Dances – Beethoven: Consecration of the House – Offenbach: Orpheus in the Underworld – Wagner: Flying Dutchman Overture – Liszt: Liebestraum No.3 (Dreams of Love) with Pianist Nicole Pesce
“Start your Valentine’s week by bringing your loved ones to this special concert,” says Joy Partridge, executive director of the Scottsdale Philharmonic. “Our concerts last fall sold out so we encourage you to buy your tickets early for this concert and our other concerts this spring. We have kept tickets affordable, starting at $20, and we offer easy, free parking at the concert venue.”
The following spring 2025 concerts will be performed at La Casa de Cristo Lutheran Church, 6300 E. Bell Rd. in Scottsdale, on the following Sundays from 4-6 p.m.: – Feb. 9 — “Valentine’s Day Concert” – April 6 — “The Great Scheherazade” – May 11 — “Beethoven’s Lyrical Odyssey” – June 29 — “Independence Day Concert”
“This past season showed us how much the community values the power of live classical music,” Partridge says. “As your Valleywide Symphony, we are proud to offer free live streaming for those who can’t attend in person, affordable ticket prices, and free tickets to students and veterans. Our mission is to make classical music available to everyone.”
Unlike many symphonies, the Scottsdale Philharmonic operates independently, without support from any city, town, or government. “Our ability to share beautiful music relies entirely on the generosity of individual donors and corporate sponsors,” explains Partridge. “Since ticket sales cover only one-third of concert costs, we need the unwavering support and dedication of our donors.
“Thanks to our donors, we’re able to provide more free tickets to students and veterans, free live streaming and scholarship programs,” explains Partridge. “But, we still need your support. If you’re passionate about classical music, please visit our website to donate and join our growing community of supporters.”
“Get your tickets today, and join us for this extraordinary season of live classical music,” Partridge says.
Individual concert tickets range from $20 to $35 and can be purchased online at www.scottsdalephilharmonic.com. For more information about the Scottsdale Philharmonic, to volunteer, or to donate, please visit www.scottsdalephilharmonic.com or call 480-951-6077.
Los Angeles, CA, November 10, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– LA-based R&B/Soul and Hip Hop artist Jules the Lion returns with “Love After Love,” a soulful hip-hop ballad that captures the spark of finding love again after heartbreak. Produced, mixed, and mastered by award-winning musician Tom Goss, the track blends nostalgic soul textures with timeless lyricism — the kind of sound that makes you remember how love is supposed to feel.
“When I met the girl who healed my heart, I had to write her this song,” says Jules. “Love After Love is for anyone who’s ever thought they’d never find that feeling again — until they did.”
As the title track of Jules the Lion’s forthcoming EP, Love After Love charts the artist’s journey from heartbreak to wholeness. Across clever bars and velvety vocals, Jules blends sensuality, spirituality, and soul with the honesty of modern hip hop.
Known as “the pansexual sonic lovechild of Marvin Gaye and Ms. Lauryn Hill,” Jules the Lion brings a fresh, inclusive voice to the R&B landscape, celebrating love in all its forms and frequencies.
“Love After Love” is available now on all major streaming platforms.
