Peoples' Symphony Concerts

Peoples' Symphony Concerts Dedicated to providing high-caliber artists to the public for affordable prices since 1900.

Peoples’ Symphony Concerts mission is to serve the citizens of the New York area who are on a limited budget by presenting classical music performances of the highest caliber at affordable ticket prices.

We offer three in-person and online series of six concerts for as little as $56 (less than $10 per concert)!

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. That winter, more than 7,000 people jammed into the old hall at Cooper Union to hear Mr. Arens, the son of an immigrant farmer, conduct his series of five Peoples' Symphony Concerts. Subscriptions for the five concerts ranged from $.25 to $1.25 and single tickets went for as little as $0.10 each. 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 modern 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.
