Discounted tickets for students and their teachers

 

“This was an extraordinary experience for these students – eye-opening, challenging, stimulating and entertaining – and we would not have been able to attend if we had not had access to these discounted tickets.” – Sara Minkoff

 

With the Take 10 program, K-12 students and educators connect with outstanding performers and eclectic art forms. Each season, students and educators can get $10 tickets to selected Overture performances. Some of these performances are also part of Overture's Meet the Artist series, which provides audience members the chance to converse with the artists in informal Q & A sessions after their performances.

 

Take 10 tickets are only available at the ticket office window. All students and educators have to do is present appropriate identification at the ticket office window. This includes school ID or proof of age for students, and school ID for educators. Tickets subject to availability.
