Compose Your Own concert package

Is a full-season subscription not the right fit for you? Eugene Symphony has Compose Your Own subscription packages that come with many of the same benefits! Choose 5 or 3 Symphonic Series concerts from our upcoming 2023/24 Season for a tailored experience with flexibility and savings that better suit your needs.

Our Compose Your Own 5- and 3-Concert packages do not include our special concerts: New Year’s Eve Celebration on December 31, Family Concert: The Firebird on April 21, 2024, and Star Wars: A New Hope on May 4, 2024. One of the benefits to purchasing a CYO subscription is first access to these concerts at a discounted rate before they go on sale to the public!

If you’re interested in a 3-concert Compose Your Own subscription package but having trouble deciding which concerts to pick, we have a few recommendations to guide you!

These three concerts exemplify the immense virtuosity of our orchestra, most of whom are based in Eugene, as well as other deep community connections.
