Ten Reasons to Attend RSO Concerts
1. Each ticket is less than a ticket to the Milwaukee or Chicago Symphonies. And do you even want to think about parking there, let alone paying for it?

2. More. Music. We have added an additional Masterworks Concert this season.

3. Date night is so easy. Preorder table seats and dinner for a Pops concert. All you need to do is show up and enjoy.

4. It's good for the kids - and you. Listening to classical music improves spatial reasoning abilities.

5. Everyone is doing it. Meet new people or catch up with some old friends.

6. Buy one, get one free - sort of. Buy a Masterworks concert ticket, get a free lecture on the evening's music by Maestro Laurino.

7. Fine, have it your way. We play what our audience asks. Programming suggestions and music donations welcome.

8. Child and wallet-friendly. Children are welcome to attend our concerts with parental supervision. Everyone 20 and under is admitted FREE.

9. Not a night owl? Attend an entire concert and still be in bed by 10pm.

10. Join the local movement. Support local musical talents and help keep revenue close to home.
