As the Artistic and Executive Director of Orlando Sings, I often get asked why season subscriptions are so important. I’d like to take a moment now and give you some insight into the benefits of subscribing—not only for us as an organization but also for you, our cherished audience members.
1. A WIN-WIN FOR BOTH SIDES
Think about planning a trip. Most of us don’t just show up at the airport, hoping to buy a plane ticket to our dream destination at the last minute. Instead, we plan and save, making sure everything is in place so we can enjoy a smooth, worry-free experience. Season subscriptions to Orlando Sings work in a similar way. They provide us with a stable foundation—revenue that comes in before the first note is sung or the first page of music is turned. This early financial support allows us to plan, rehearse, and perform with confidence, knowing that we have your backing. It helps us invest in the quality of our performances, the hiring of talented musicians, and the development of innovative programming that enriches our community.
2. SUPPORTING THE ARTS AND ENSURING LONGEVITY
When you purchase a season subscription, you’re not just buying tickets. You’re making a commitment to support the arts in our community. This support is critical for the longevity of organizations like Orlando Sings. We strive to be more than just a group of singers; we aim to be a vibrant, integral part of Orlando’s cultural landscape. Subscriptions allow us to invest in long-term projects, collaborate with other local artists, and reach out to different parts of our community. By committing to us, you’re ensuring that the arts continue to thrive, not just for this season but for many seasons to come.
3. PERKS FOR SUBSCRIBERS
Let’s talk about you for a moment. What’s in it for our subscribers? A lot, actually! As a subscriber, you’re guaranteed a seat at each of our concerts—no scrambling for tickets, no fear of missing out. You get the first pick of the best seats in the house, often with the opportunity to keep or upgrade your seat location each season. Subscribers also enjoy flexibility. We understand that life happens, and plans change. If you find you can’t attend a performance, we’re more than happy to exchange subscriber tickets for a gift certificate you can use to get additional tickets and bring friends to one of the other concerts in the current season, or to go towards your subscription for the following season. Of course, you also can wear your Orlando Sings supporter lapel pin with pride knowing you are playing a big role in bringing the arts alive!
4. CURATED EXPERIENCES
One of the joys of subscribing is the curated experience it offers. You might be tempted to pick and choose concerts based on familiarity with the repertoire or the composers. But as a subscriber, you’re making a commitment to experience everything we have to offer, which often leads to unexpected delights. You might discover a new favorite composer or be moved by a performance that you wouldn’t have otherwise attended. Trust us, we put a lot of thought into each season’s programming to offer a rich tapestry of musical experiences. Subscribing means you’re in for the full journey, not just the highlights.
5. BUILDING A COMMUNITY
At Orlando Sings, we don’t just consider you audience members; we consider you part of our musical family. Our subscribers are a vital part of our community. They are the familiar faces we see at each performance, the people who engage with us in post-concert discussions, and the voices we hear in feedback and suggestions. By subscribing, you’re joining a like-minded group of individuals who share your passion for choral music and support the mission of Orlando Sings. It’s not just about buying tickets; it’s about being part of something larger, something that enriches our lives and the lives of those around us.
6. MAKE THE COMMITMENT
So, as we prepare for another season filled with the joy and power of music, I invite you to make the commitment. Purchase a season subscription to Orlando Sings. Help us create and share the beauty of choral music with our community. Trust us—you’ll be glad you did. And we can’t wait to see you at our performances, knowing that together, we’re making something truly special happen.
THANK YOU
Thank you for your support, and see you at the concert hall!
