Joy Partridge, CPA,
President of the Board and Trustee

As co-founder of the Scottsdale Philharmonic, Joy has realized her dream of creating a symphony orchestra in Scottsdale comprised of professional musicians who provide the highest quality of classical symphony music. Her expertise as owner of a Certified Public Accounting firm, and serving over 25 years actively on Valley symphony boards, provides her with a solid foundation for the establishment, organization and operation of the Scottsdale Philharmonic. Joy is the primary publicity contact, fundraiser, community liaison, and donor connection for the Philharmonic. She frequently works with civic organizations promoting the mission and vision of the orchestra. She oversees and coordinates the activities of key staff to ensure all aspects of orchestra operations are well managed. For over 30 years Joy has performed as a violist in various Valley orchestras and continues her performing tradition with the Scottsdale Philharmonic.
