Featuring school and community groups at Kleinhans for over 25 years!
The BPO’s Community Spotlight program features school and community groups in performances prior to BPO concerts throughout the year. Performances take place in the Mary Seaton Room at Kleinhans 45 minutes before the start time of select BPO concerts. Each student performer receives a free ticket to the concert that follows. Family, friends and community members receive discount ticket prices to attend the BPO performance.
