The Hayden’s Ferry Chamber Music Series takes place at Tempe Center for the Arts, a stone’s throw from the 1875 ferry location near the Hayden Flour Mill. The logo is based on the only existing photo of the ferry and acknowledges the original name of Tempe, Hayden’s Ferry. The Salt River is no longer running and the beautiful TCA is located on Tempe Town Lake.

Guest artists come from all over the United States and they are all exceptionally fine musicians. The experience of hearing music in an intimate and beautiful setting, surrounded by art, is really wonderful and quite rare. Seating is limited to 100 people. After the concerts, the audience is invited to meet the musicians at a wine reception, and a glass of wine is included in the adult ticket price. I look forward to seeing you at the concerts.
