DuPage Symphony Orchestra celebrates record crowds and anticipates a sold-out season
The DuPage Symphony Orchestra has had an extraordinary start to its 2024-25 season, with overwhelming audience enthusiasm driving near-capacity or sold-out attendance across its first four concert programs. With such an incredible response, the DSO is anticipating continued strong attendance for the remainder of the season.
“This remarkable turnout shows the growing appetite for live classical music in our community,” said Mari Ullrick, Strategic Director of Operations and Engagement. “It’s more than just a testament to the DSO’s artistry — it’s evidence of how people are seeking connection, joy, and renewal through music.”
The power of classical music on mental health
The DSO's success comes as more people turn to classical music for its profound emotional and mental health benefits. Studies show that attending live classical performances can reduce stress, foster mindfulness, and create a sense of community. Patrons have shared their personal stories of how the music has inspired and uplifted them.
“Classical music offers a moment to pause and reflect,” said Maestra Barbara Schubert, Music Director and Conductor. “Whether it's the beauty of a symphony or the energy of a live orchestra, this music has the power to transform and heal.”
With this extraordinary momentum, tickets for the rest of the season are going fast. The DSO encourages community members to secure their seats now before the remaining concerts sell out. Each performance is thoughtfully designed to connect audiences with the beauty of classical music and leave them inspired.
