#music concerts

Not to be an old nerd on main but I really think more young people should go to classical orchestra concerts.

It is wild to me that classical music has this reputation of being elitist when in fact it’s easily the most affordable kind of concert you can go to. Classical music orchestras are desperate to get young people in the door because the majority of their patrons are elderly and when those patrons die, the art of live classical/instrumental music will die with them if younger folks don’t show up to keep the concerts going. If you are under the age of 40, there’s a good chance that your local orchestra has a discount for you, and possibly a steep one at that. If you’re a high school or college student, you might be eligible for a student discount, which could be even better. And if you’re bringing family or friends, there might be group discounts.

But even if there’s no special deal, these concerts can still be surprisingly cheap, in large part because many of them don’t make you buy through the greedy extortion clusterfuck that is Ticketmaster. I literally got a front row seat at an orchestra concert for just TWELVE DOLLARS and heard some of the best music of my life while doing it. Music that is so amazing it can move you to tears. And that kind of pricing isn’t unusual in my city. Hell, there are even some concerts around here that are FREE.

It kills me to see young people feeling like they have to miss out on the joy of live music just because they can’t afford to shell out hundreds of dollars in Ticketmaster fees when a much easier and more affordable option is right there.

Also? The idea that classical music is solely the domain of White men from the 1800s is not true. There are women and people of color in the orchestras, in conductor/director positions, and there are women and POC composers from a range of eras whose work gets played. I attend a lot of orchestra concerts and I’ve heard beautiful music from all over the world from composers and performers in all kinds of demographics. I’ve heard music that was composed within my parents’ lifetimes and music that was about being queer. And I never paid much for any of it.

It’s true that these concerts aren’t very flashy. There’s no special effects, big screens, dance numbers, or sparkly outfits. But that’s the point. You’re meant to focus on the music and the story it’s telling, with no distractions. It’s one or two hours of relaxing songs that allow you to just let your mind wander and imagine. It’s much better for people with sensory issues who get overwhelmed easily, and it lets you safely get the cheap seats without any worries that you’ll be missing too much because you don’t really need to see what’s on stage, you just need to hear it. And if the venue is any good, you will definitely be able to hear from wherever you are.

Anyway support your local orchestra and fuck Ticketmaster up its ass.

Every time I learn something new about my mom’s musical experiences I get a little more insane. Like are you serious she saw blink-182 at a concert before they were famous? WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE WENT BOWLING WITH THE LEAD SINGER OF LED ZEPPELIN??

if you’re looking for a cool new punk band to listen to, i highly recommend looking for local small bands before searching “punk” into spotify.

don’t know how to find them?

what i did is i looked up what some punk bars in my area, i started going on random nights and found bands i liked that way. (if you’re under 21, you can still look up the bars, but go to their instagram, see what bands are playing and see if they are on band camp, spotify, etc.)

this has worked amazing for me, i’ve made so many friends, it’s to the point where certain bands shows feel like monthly family reunions full of so much love and genuine compassion.

hope this helps anyone wanting to be more involved in the subculture

EDIT: if you live in a small town, just search the nearest big city. or honestly any city that you vibe with. every area has a slightly different sound and scene find what you blend with!!
