Music For All

We believe that great music is for everyone, regardless of your budget. We offer a variety of ways to experience your Orchestra. Tickets start at just $14 for most CSO concerts and $25 for Pops. Season tickets are the best way to save when you plan to purchase more than one concert.

Tickets for the 2019/20 season at Music Hall will go on sale July 30, 2019. Subscriptions are on sale now.

Other Ways To Experience Your Orchestra

We love seeing new people in Music Hall! If you have never attended a CSO or Pops concert, you and a guest are invited to a CSO or Pops performance for only $10 per ticket (limit 2, subject to availability, valid for select concerts).
