Spokane Symphony Concerts: Performances & Tickets

The Spokane Symphony and its home at The Fox

The professional orchestra is led by Music Director James Lowe. Its home is Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox, 1001 W Sprague Avenue. That connects it to a particular place without making every performance in the building a Symphony production.

Read the organization as well as the venue when choosing. A band at The Fox is a separate booking, and smaller Symphony programs may take place elsewhere. The selected performance gives you the destination; the orchestra’s home is a starting point, not an address to assume for every concert.

Masterworks: choose a classical program

Masterworks focuses on classical orchestral repertoire. Choose by the works, composer, conductor or featured musician listed for a program. You do not need to recognize every name in advance; curiosity about one piece is a useful reason to try the concert.

The series can require sustained listening through longer works. First-timer guidance asks that children at Masterworks be able to sit thoughtfully without disturbing others. Consider the format for your group rather than assuming all orchestral concerts suit the same attention span.

Pops: follow popular music into the orchestra

Pops brings popular genres into orchestral programming. It offers another starting point if your interest begins with songs or styles outside the classical repertoire. Look at the theme rather than assuming all Pops concerts cover the same music.

The distinction is about the program, not a hierarchy of musical knowledge. Choose Pops because its theme interests you, then explore Masterworks on another evening. Our Spokane concert guide places the Symphony alongside other ways to hear live music.

Specials: film concerts, ballet and more

Specials include film concerts and The Nutcracker ballet, adding another art form to the orchestral experience. Read the billing to distinguish a live-orchestra film presentation from a concert of selections, and a ballet from an orchestral program alone.

That matters when choosing with friends or children. Someone interested in dance may want a different event from someone who wants to hear a score. Use the official program description, then open the exact performance before comparing tickets.

Chamber Soirees: Intimate Musician-Curated Concerts

Chamber Soirees offer a different kind of orchestral experience—smaller ensembles of Symphony musicians performing in more intimate settings. These concerts are musician-curated, meaning the performers themselves shape the programming, often choosing repertoire that highlights individual artistry and chamber music's conversational character.

These musician-curated programs use smaller ensembles and can take place beyond The Fox. The venue is part of the event’s identity, so use the selected Soirée’s location. A chamber program offers another scale of listening if you want to focus on the interplay between fewer performers.

Bringing Children to Symphony Concerts

Children are welcome at Spokane Symphony performances. Every child needs a ticketed seat, even when eligible for complimentary admission. A free ticket and permission to attend without a ticket are different things.

Choose with your child’s listening stamina in mind. First-timer guidance addresses longer Masterworks pieces, while season listings identify family programs. Read the format rather than deciding that every film-related title suits every age.

Our all-ages concert guide compares this option with club admission and the Library’s music open mic. Entry eligibility is the first question; comfort and interest help you make the final choice.

Official Discounts and Ticket Guidance

The Spokane Symphony offers official qualifying discount programs that help make concerts more accessible. K-12 students can access complimentary Masterworks tickets subject to availability, providing young learners opportunities to experience professional orchestral performances. College students may utilize College Cards requiring enrollment verification and box office seat reservations, ensuring students have affordable access to the Symphony's season.

Official military and group options are also described on the discount page. Contact the box office for eligibility and current arrangements. These benefits are separate from resale offers and should not be assumed to transfer to another seller’s ticket.

This site is an independent ticket affiliate. Use the Symphony’s own website and box office for official programs and subscriptions. For a resale offer reached from an event page, review that seller’s full terms and cost. Qualification for a benefit does not establish seat availability.

Find your program and performance date

The upcoming cards below focus on Spokane Symphony bookings. Open a performance for its date and venue, then explore tickets. When a program has multiple performances, compare the exact day rather than treating identical titles as interchangeable tickets.

If you are still choosing, return to the official series overview. Masterworks, Pops, Specials and chamber music offer different starting points. Pick the program that makes you want to listen, then plan that particular concert.
