HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Public sales of tickets for the 2022-2023 season of the Hutchinson Community Concerts are underway.
"We don't sell tickets at the door," said Shirley Hinkle Pauls with the community concert series. "We have this annual membership campaign and sell out the season tickets. That provides, of course, the funds, then to know that we can securely move ahead. This philosophy was developed back in the 1920s."
New members can get their tickets May 4, 5 and 6 in the First National Bank Lobby at Sherman and Main in Hutchinson.
"We're constantly, of course, trying to promote the idea that for children that are taking band, piano lessons, that kind of thing, if they hear live entertainment, it's an inspiration to practice harder."
Season tickets are $50 for adults, $10 for students and $110 for a family with two adults and all children K-12 in the household. A season membership entitles each member to attend all six concerts. For new memberships call 620-665-7300.
