President’s Message – September 2024
Hello CMK Friends –
First, many thanks to everyone who renewed your CMK subscriptions for the 2024-25 season. And also, a very warm welcome to those who have joined CMK for the first time as subscribers and donors. We are extremely gratified to let you know that we have already surpassed last season’s roster of subscribers and hope to add several more before our first concert on October 26th. Here’s what CMK music lovers need to know right now:
Tickets for JAMES EHNES STRING QUARTET SPECIAL on April 24, 2025 are available exclusively for CMK 2024-25 subscribers NOW!
If you have already subscribed to the 2024-25 season, you should have received an email from us last week with an invitation to purchase your tickets for this very special event before they go on sale to the general public in November. If you purchase a subscription now, you will receive the same invitation once the Box Office informs us that you have joined our happy band. 2024-25 CMK subscribers have priority access until October 31, 2024 (subject to availability).
Subscriptions for 5-concert series still available!
We have a small number of 2024-25 subscriptions (5 concerts) still available. The subscription campaign has been very successful to date, but we have set aside some of the best remaining seats for new subscribers until September 30th. Because these seats are being held in the Box Office system, the public will not be able to access these seats for online purchase. Please call the box office at 250-469-8940, and ask for seats that are being held for full-season subscribers.
Remember, CMK subscribers receive a 20% discount on single ticket prices and this discount also applies to next April’s very special concert with the James Ehnes String Quartet.
