Ticket
sales are
increasing
Thomas P. Shelburne, President
of the Philharmonic Society of
Northeastern Pennsylvania, has
announced that season ticket sales
for the 1985-86 Season of Stars are 10
percent ahead of 1984-85 sales.
According to Mr. Shelburne, as of
May 1, almost 2,300 subscriptions
had been received in the Philhar-
monic office; this represents an
increase of 215 subscriptions over
last year at this time.
The increase in season ticket
sales appears to be an extension of
the box office success realized by
the Orchestra this year. The Phil-
harmonic was sold out for more
than half the concerts this season,
with only stand-by tickets available
for sale concert week.
~. The subscription campaign, held
each Spring, offers present subscri-
bers the opportunity to renew their
seats until June 1. New subscribers
are seated after that date. There is
a significant saving to subscribers
over single ticket buyers. The
orchestra’s exchange policy, which
allows subscribers to transfer to the
alternate city, has been extremely
successful in alleviating scheduling
_ conflicts that inevitably occur.
The schedule next season includes
Guest Artists, Elmar Oliveira, the
first American winner of the Tchai-
kovsky Violin Competition, Cellist
Carter Brey, protege of Mstislav
Rostropovich, and Tenor David
Gordon presently on tour in Japan
. with the Bach Academy of Stutt-
gart, all of whom will be featured in
the Distinguished Artist Series at
the 92nd Street Y in New York City
next season.
Others like piano virtuoso Leon
Fleisher, Music Director of Wolf-
trap and Pops conductor Mitch
Miller need little or no introduction.
Subscription sales are the finan-
cial base of the Orchestra and it is
from this base that the organization
continues to grow. Anyone wishing
subscription information as well as
information about discounts availa-
ble until June 1 is asked to contact
the Philharmonic office, 342-0920, or
287-1916.
