Season Concerts
Classical Series Concerts are held at Kidd-Key Auditorium at 7:30pm on the Saturday of the concert. The box office will open one hour before the performance. The seating capacity of the auditorium is approximately 1300 and is traditional auditorium seating. Free student tickets are offered at all Classical Series Concerts. Biennial opera programs are offered at the Spring concert.
Christmas Pops Concerts take place at Austin College, Sid Richardson Recreation Center. The venue is decorated with seasonal decorations. There are two concerts per year, the first full weekend of December. Saturday evening at 7:30pm, and Sunday matinee at 3pm. Concertgoers have the option to reserve 8-person tables. General admission seating includes long tables with bench seating. The experience is family-oriented: Santa Claus sits in his sleigh so that people may have pictures with Santa and there is a coloring contest for all ages. The concert concludes with a Christmas carol sing along.
