We always look forward to the Downtown Chamber Series concerts at First Studio. It just fills the space with such magic. I do hope you’ll join us and wander First Studio Gallery beforehand or during intermission.

Meet violinist Elise Haukenes, who will perform on our concerts on May 17 & 18 at First Studio. Elise is a member of The Phoenix Symphony as well as an accomplished dancer and gymnast.
