SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts has added more show to its star-studded, dynamic 2026–27 season, including Amy Grant's " The Me That Remains" tour, Lyle Lovett and his Small Large Band and Ballet Arizona’s presentation of "Ballet in the Making."
Amy Grant, known for iconic pop hits like “Baby Baby” and “Every Heartbeat,” is making a stop in Scottsdale on Sept. 25. Audiences can experience an intimate, and high-energy evening when Andy Grammer returns to the center with "Greater Than Pt. II: A One Man Show" on Dec. 2. And four-time Grammy Award winner Lyle Lovett’s concert on Nov. 5 adds to the growing list of powerhouse performers playing at the center this season.
Christmas in Scottsdale is not complete without Mariachi Sol de México on Dec. 18, but this year audiences can also expect to celebrate the season with "Home Free: Coming Home for the Holidays" on Dec. 3 and Celtic Woman’s "Silver Bells Christmas Tour" on Dec. 6. Home Free, winner of NBC’s fourth season of “The Sing Off,” adds a dose of holiday magic to its signature style, while Celtic Woman performs holiday classics and more while accompanied by a full symphony orchestra.
Presented in partnership with Arizona Ballet, "Ballet in the Making" is a collection of movement works-in-progress, created by dancers who have stepped into the role of choreographers. These dancers have created original pieces through experimentation and collaboration. And now, these staged works-in-progress invite audiences to Scottsdale to watch original ballet at the cusp of evolution.
