[dropcap]”T[/dropcap]he North Valley is home to some of the most lauded and accomplished musical organizations. One of the newest, Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Concert Series led by Executive Producer Joseph Wytko, has found its niche among them.

In only its second season, its inaugural 2017-18 season proved to be tremendously popular—its success attributed widely to an eclectic mix of world-class musicians combined with the gorgeous ambiance of The Boulders Resort. Audiences responded well to the up-close and personal listening experiences, and the 2018-19 series offers an equally enjoyable lineup.

This year’s series will be held in the Tohono Ballroom located at The Boulders’ El Pedregal, and not only will the artists be exceptional, but audiences will be treated to complimentary champagne, fine art, and the beautifully intimate setting in the Tohono Ballroom.

This year’s performances will be a feast of the sensations. Art will be displayed by some of the area’s finest visual artists, including Steve Stento, Beth Cox and artists from the new Grace Renee Gallery in Carefree.

The star of each concert, of course, will be the music.

Jazz, classical, tasteful popular tunes, authentic country and Western, blues and more are represented by this year’s tuneful artists.

Among the performers are jazz vocalist Alice Tatum, pianist Nicole Pesce, Swedish-born vocalist Vismaya Hagelberg, Oregon’s country and Western singer/songwriter/recording artist Joni Harms with Nashville-based daughter Olivia, and pianist Beth Lederman with Felix Sainz and Emerson Laffey. Executive Producer Wytko, an incredibly accomplished saxophonist, will also be featured, as will the uniquely versatile trio WE3.

Concert dates fall on Sundays and begin at 4 p.m. Tickets, available online by credit card or on a cash-only basis at the door, are $35 per person and include champagne. Season tickets are available; please contact Joseph Wytko at [email protected].

Don’t miss the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Concert Series! Soon to be a Valley staple, it’s more than top-notch entertainment; it’s the beginning of an exciting new tradition.
