If you are between the ages of 12 and 17, you — and one friend of any age — can attend a New York Philharmonic Rush Hour, Hear & Now, or Inside the Music concert for just $12. (That's less than the cost of a movie ticket and popcorn.) The perfect way to introduce teens to classical music. Families and school groups are invited to attend.
At Rush Hour concerts, experience an evening of music that’s guaranteed to move you. Weeknight concerts begin early and last about an hour — so there’s time for you to have a world class concert experience and do your homework!
At Hear & Now concerts, deepen your appreciation for the music of our own time through illuminating Hear & Now Premiere Preview presentations. Join us one hour before concert time for the best of what’s new, free with your concert ticket. Hosted by composer Steven Stucky.
At Inside the Music concerts, get the remarkable backstory behind music’s masterpieces through an engaging blend of visual imagery, theater, and riveting performances by the New York Philharmonic.
