The Warren Philharmonic Orchestra’s 56th season subscription campaign is now underway.
The 2022-2023 season will feature concerts on Sunday, Oct. 23 and April 23, 2023 at First Presbyterian Church, 256 Mahoning Ave., N.W., Warren. Concerts are 3 p.m. and under the direction of acclaimed conductor Susan Davenny Wyner.
Season subscribers will receive a ticket to each of the two concerts as well as one free ticket to bring a friend to either concert. Warren Philharmonic’s flex plan allows the use of any ticket for either concert this season. Subscribers get three tickets for the price of two.
Single tickets also will be available at the door. Tickets are $30 for adults and $15 for students. Children under 12 are free with an adult.
“The orchestra family greatly appreciates our season ticket subscribers, patrons, and major gift donors who support our efforts to bring high quality musical experiences to our community,” said William Mullane, president of the orchestra’s board of trustees. “We are especially thankful for the support we receive that encourages our students to perform and witness great music close to home.”
