Throughout history, music has conveyed patriotism like no other medium could, and the Battle Creek Symphony is taking the stage in honor of America’s servicemen and servicewomen. The orchestra will perform patriotic favorites such as Battle Hymn of the Republic, Requiem for a Soldier from Band of Brothers, and the Armed Forces Salute. The symphony will be joined by eight choirs from throughout the region to send a unified salute to veterans. This multimedia event includes a photo slideshow with photographs of our local veterans.

Fun Facts about the Concert

What are Ticket Prices?

Tickets start at $12 for adults and $6 for students and go up to $51 based on the seat location. The least expensive seats are at the back of the balcony and the front closest to the stage.

Here are some other helpful tips you should know as well:

1. The best deal comes when you don’t wait until the very last minute to order tickets. We never offer last minute discounts because we don’t want to undercut patrons who already purchased their seats. Whenever you see a concert you’d like to attend, you get the best seats by not waiting.

2. Another way to save is to buy a subscription. Currently subscriptions for all five concerts are available with great deals. Contact us at 269-963-1911 and we'd be more than happy to find a deal for you.

3. If you’re a student on a budget, be sure to bring your student ID for great discounts.

Program Notes

How Long is the Concert?

When Do I Clap?

Whenever you want! Seriously, the tradition of clapping only at the end of pieces was only for a short time in the history of music. Typically, people like to clap after a great solo in a jazz tune, an impressive dance move, or after a great movement (section) in a symphony. If you really like a piece, clap at the end of the movement and yell "encore" if you want to hear more. (we love playing encores!)

What Do I Wear?

More than anything, we want you to have fun and express your own style when you come to the Battle Creek Symphony, so dress in a way that works for you. Some people love dressing up and going out—if that’s you, do it and you won’t be the only one, we promise. If you prefer to be more casual, then you probably won’t be the only one dressed casually, either. In short, you do you, and we’re just glad you’re joining us.
