Check Out the Symphony

Through the generosity of the Alabama Symphony Orchestra, our patrons can “check out” tickets to Masterworks and Coffee Concerts!

Here’s how it works:

  • Ticket vouchers for each month’s concerts will be available on a first-come, first-served basis beginning on the first day that the library is open each month, unless otherwise noted below.

  • Each voucher can be redeemed at the Alys Stephens Center Will Call window for two tickets to the performance of your choice (either Friday night, Saturday night, or Friday morning (if applicable)). Vouchers should be redeemed at least 48 hours before the concert to ensure that tickets are available.
  • Vouchers must be picked up at the library and cannot be reserved. Quantities are limited.
  • Vouchers must be picked up by a current library cardholder age 16 or older.

  • Limit 1 voucher (for 2 tickets) per household per concert.
