The Traverse City Philharmonic (TC Phil) is pleased to invite Newcomers to their last Backstage Pass Event on April 11 at 7:30 pm at the Traverse City Philharmonic Center in the Cherryland Mall, 1724 S. Garfield Avenue, Traverse City. The highlighted concert will be Leonard Bernstein’s greatest orchestral achievement, Symphony No. 2: The Age of Anxiety featuring returning superstar Claire Huangci at the piano along with the beloved New World Symphony by Dvorak 

This Backstage Pass Event is the PERFECT one-hour event if you've ever wondered if classical music is for you. Tickets are only $10, and your drink is included (wine, beer, NA, soft drinks)!  Tickets must be purchased on line at TC Phil website at  https://traversesymphony.my.salesforce-sites.com/ticket/#/instances/a0FUs000006acbBMAQ  

So, what is a "Backstage Pass?”

This event is designed for individuals new to the world of classical music. You will get an hour of music with the FULL Traverse City Philharmonic orchestra, behind-the-scenes stories, and answers to questions you always wanted to ask Maestro Kevin Rhodes, but cannot during a regular concert. The Maestro will lead the orchestra in some short passages from the concert that is being performed the next day to illustrate his points and give you a bit of a trailer or "amuse-bouche" of what the full two-hour concert will be on Sunday, April 12 in Corson Auditorium, while helping the audience understand classical music better than they ever have before!

All GT Newcomers who come to the Backstage Pass on April 11, will also receive an exclusive 50% off coupon code if they attend the full concert the next day (April 12) in Corson Auditorium at Interlochen as well as $10 off all tickets for the next TWO TC Philharmonic concerts!  To get your exclusive coupons, upon leaving the event you must stop at the Reception Desk, ask for Becky and tell her you are a Newcomer!

Reminder:  Tickets must be purchased on line at TC Phil website at   https://traversesymphony.my.salesforce-sites.com/ticket/#/instances/a0FUs000006acbBMAQ 

Hope to see you there!
