Don't miss Sympho's newest concert experience, "Ascending Darkness." Join us as we transport you into a gorgeous, meditative, spiritual place. In this dream-state, we will follow our archetypal hero on a quest for enlightenment.

Tickets: $500 Patron* (premium seating + post-concert reception) $250 Benefactor* (preferred seating + post-concert reception) $100 Sponsor* (reserved seating + post-concert reception) Reserved $50, General $25, Student $15 (ID required)
