Boston Symphony Orchestra
The Boston Symphony Orchestra is the oldest and one of the
Boston Pops, most renowned symphonies in the country. The principal conductor is James Levine and the BSO's season runs from late September through April. World-renowned musicians appear with the BSO and they generally premier at least one new work each season. Tickets ($27-105) include a $1 fee for the preservation of
Symphony Hall - an architectural and acoustical gem of a building. Student rush tickets are sometimes available at 5pm for Tuesday and Thursday performances, 10am for the Friday matinée.

Beginning at 9:30am on the morning of each concert listed, students may call the designated phone line to confirm that tickets are available for that performance. The tickets can then be picked up between the hours of 10am and 6pm the same day at the BSO Box Office at Symphony Hall on Massachusetts Avenue.
Each student showing both a valid student ID and College Card is entitled to one ticket, if available, for a particular concert. The tickets are offered on a first-come first-served basis. There is a minimum of 100 tickets available per concert. Students are not guaranteed tickets to all 27 concerts.
