BASTYR CONCERT TICKETS
Families of enrolled BYSO students get priority access to concert tickets at Bastyr from April 16 – April 30. On April 30, tickets will be open to the general public on our website, here.
STAY THE WHOLE CONCERT
Performing students are expected to stay from their call time to the end of the concert. Listening to other musicians perform is an important part of each student’s music education, and it’s also important to support fellow BYSO musicians in this way. Students who must leave early due to unavoidable schedule conflicts must get permission from their conductor and the BYSO office prior to the concert.
