Ticketing:

To ensure our concerts are accessible to all, our three 2026-27 Concert Season programs will continue to offer a Pay-What-You-Can tier, along with higher-level ticket tiers.

Ticket income alone does not begin to cover concert expenses. For those able to afford it, a higher-level ticket purchase supports CSEM in bringing acclaimed ensembles and musicians to community venues in the Greater Boston area, providing high-level engaging public programs, and welcoming audiences of all means. We hope you will consider joining one of our supporter levels when planning to attend:
