The Peoples’ Symphony Concerts series was founded in 1900 by the conductor Franz Arens, with the purpose of bringing the best music to students and workers for minimum prices. A conducting student in Europe who had been too poor to attend many concerts in his youth, Arens returned to New York determined to find a way to bring music to students, teachers, workers, and others unable to pay normal ticket prices. Since those early years, hundreds of thousands of Peoples' Symphony Concerts audience members have heard the world's foremost concert artists and ensembles at the lowest admission prices of any major series in the country. Today, we offer a six-concert subscription for only $32, or approximately $5.35 per ticket, a fraction of the subscription cost of the “uptown” series. Offering concerts at both Town Hall and the historic Washington Irving High School, Peoples’ Symphony Concerts is able to offer artists of the highest caliber to the citizens of New York. Our affordable prices and the high level of performances that we provide give these residents the unique opportunity to enrich their lives through music without having to make financial sacrifices.
