Sensory help, in the symphony's words

“Phoenix Symphony Sensory bags contain noise-canceling headphones, weighted lap blanket and a selection of fidget tools. The bags are available to borrow at the Symphony Hall coat check desk located at the north west area of the lobby.”

“Take a break at the Portal 9 Interlude Zone during concerts in Symphony Hall! Relax, dance or move in Portal 9”

  • None of the concerts on the symphony's 2026-27 season page is listed as sensory friendly or relaxed.
  • The 2026-27 Family Series concerts are at Madison Center for the Arts, not Symphony Hall.
  • For accessibility questions or accommodation requests before your visit, the hall's operator, Phoenix Convention Center & Venues, takes calls at 602-262-6225.
