FRIENDS and CHAIRMAN’S CIRCLE PROGRAMS

The Friends and Chairman’s Circle are annual giving programs that sustain the wide-ranging artistic work that inspires, educates, and connects us. Join the Friends program today with a gift of $75 or more, or the Chairman’s Circle of our leadership supporters with a gift of $2,500 or more, to enhance your performance experience with special benefits.

Welcome to our 2023/24 season “Together in Art and Community”!

We are excited to announce a host of fabulous Friends benefits to complement your performance experience, encourage conversations, and bring us together. Events such as listening parties, rehearsals, and receptions surrounding a performance, not only highlight our core values, but also offer a way for us to say thank you for your generous support.

All Friends enjoy the following special core benefits:

• Access to dedicated Friends Hotline
• Waived handling fees on all ticket orders placed through our box office, all season long
• Flexible ticket exchanges and seating priority
• Invitation to Friends events, including Annual Feder String & Misbin Chamber Music Competitions and Concerts, rehearsals, and soundchecks
• Friends ID card

Review the benefits for each giving level here. Don't miss out! Renew your support or join today.
