Check Out the Symphony

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

Here’s how it works:

  • Tickets 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.

  • Tickets must be picked up at the library and cannot be reserved. Quantities are limited.

  • Tickets must be picked up by an Irondale resident 16 or older with a current library card.

  • Limit 2 tickets per household per concert. Each household may only have tickets to one performance per concert (the Friday OR Saturday performance).
