INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra is giving audiences more ways to experience live music this holiday season, including a special ticket offer and an upcoming concert featuring renowned travel expert Rick Steves.
Ed Parsons, vice president of artistic operations for the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, discuss the orchestra’s upcoming performances and its 4 for $99 holiday offer.
One of the upcoming highlights is Rick Steves’ Europe: A Symphonic Journey through Europe, taking place Nov. 13-14 at Hilbert Circle Theatre.
The performance combines live orchestral music with travel stories and video footage curated by Steves, best known for his television travel programs and European travel guides. Serving as a musical tour guide, Steves shares the history and cultural background behind each selection, giving audiences a deeper connection to the music and the places that inspired it.
Led by conductor Jack Everly, the orchestra will perform Romantic-era favorites from composers including Strauss, Grieg and Verdi, accompanied by images and videos from locations throughout Europe.
Parsons said the multimedia experience offers something for everyone, including those who may not regularly attend symphony performances. The combination of music, storytelling and travel makes the concert especially appealing to history and travel enthusiasts.
The orchestra is also offering its 4 for $99 promotion through Jan. 31. The deal allows customers to mix and match any four performances from the Classical or Pops series for $99, plus applicable fees. Tickets include seating options on the main floor and second mezzanine.
Parsons said the offer is a convenient way for families and friends to enjoy multiple performances together. Audiences can also combine the promotion with other offerings, including Classical Kids performances, to create more opportunities for the next generation to experience live orchestral music.
Another major holiday tradition returning to Indianapolis is the AES Indiana Yuletide Celebration, scheduled for Dec. 4-23. Parsons encouraged audiences to secure tickets soon, noting that the popular holiday production is nearly sold out.
The orchestra also has additional performances planned for the new year, giving audiences plenty of opportunities to enjoy live music beyond the holiday season.
