After a resoundingly positive audience response to our Express Concerts during the 2022.23 season, we will be expanding the format to include even more concerts during our 2023.24 season. Express Concerts are a new format of concerts that feature no intermission break, with a concert experience around 75 minutes long.

Express Concerts are spread throughout the season and are included in a number of packages across SPCO venues, offering subscribers of different packages an opportunity to experience this concert format. If you prefer only full-length concerts, or if there are no Express Concerts in your package and you’d like to try one out, you can exchange tickets between full-length and Express Concerts with no restrictions or fees.
