Young Professionals Program
Our Young Professionals program, led by young professionals on the North Carolina Symphony staff, was created for concert-goers in their 20s and 30s.
We offer several event packages each year, including concert seating in a prime location of the hall and admission to a creatively themed party where you can meet our musicians, guest artists, and other arts-lovers—all at a great price! We also host free concerts featuring smaller ensembles of our musicians, at bars and other downtown locations.
Our Young Professionals Night event packages are planned for the concerts that we think will have wide appeal—so, if you’re new to orchestral music, we’ve taken the guesswork out of which concerts to choose! If you want to try out additional concerts, we also offer our Young Professionals members discounted ticket prices on many other programs throughout the year.
Sign up to be the first to know about our Young Professionals Night event packages, free performances, and ticket discounts! There’s no fee and no commitment required.
