Tickets?
Due to an update in the Civic Center ticketing policy, a DMSO Symphony ticket will now be required to enter the building. This means that anyone who wishes to watch the Low Brass Day performers in the lobby at 6:45 must purchase a ticket to the DMSO concert.
All students will receive a complementary ticket to the symphony concert provided by the DMSO.
Parents that wish to accompany their student to the symphony concert can purchase tickets on Saturday at the box office. Simply present your student’s comp ticket to the box office and you will be seated together.
