Overture Center Community Ticket Program

Suzuki Strings takes part in Overture Center’s Community Ticket program.  The Community Ticket Program helps ensure that all people, regardless of economic ability, have access to the performing arts. Through partnerships with more than 100 local social services organizations, the program reaches families throughout Dane County that are able to receive tickets for $3, and Broadway shows are $4.25.  Occasionally we will be offered tickets for certain shows, and I’ll post them here.  The promo code for the concerts is SUZUKI.

Below please find our offerings for December Community Tickets! Tickets will be available on December 2nd instead of them going on sale today like they typically do. With our holiday break and with our cyber sale happening this week we need to push this. Be sure to check out our cyber sales to see if there is anything that will be helpful for your organizations as well!
