Jacksonville Symphony expands program for young professionals

Posted

The Jacksonville Symphony has expanded its UpTempo program for young professionals.

Benefits include invitations to Monthly Member Experiences, four UpTempo concert vouchers, $25 tickets to all Jacksonville Symphony concerts and discounts to Premier Symphony events in addition to receiving one year of the symphony’s new Contributing Member benefits.

Additional changes to the program include the formation of a steering committee to assist in planning and hosting each of the membership events. This committee will include a membership chair and a host for each event.

According to Director of Patron Engagement Jennifer Behr, the new membership offerings are structured to provide better access for young professionals throughout the season.

“After the success of last year’s program, our members shared extremely thoughtful feedback that inspired us to offer membership benefits to include more frequent and diverse opportunities for the young professionals of the area to connect and enjoy the Symphony,” Behr said. “With these improvements, we are one step closer to building the next generation of Symphony enthusiasts and supporters”
