Welcome, Classical Music lovers!

Meet with other young people in the New York area, ages 20s, 30s and 40s, who enjoy attending classical music concerts and cultural events related to this great form of performing arts, having fun together while making new friends!. Join other local classical music enthusiasts for social gatherings, to attend performances and cultural events together, share information on our message board and our passion meeting in person.


OUR GOAL
Our ultimate goal is to make younger generations more familiar and enthusiastic about Classical Music and its world. This is so much needed today. We are not just a group "to attend a New York Philharmonic concert together", we do have a variety of events related to Classical Music (and sometimes to opera/vocal music as well) and others entirely social so you get to know others who share your passion.

WANT US TO MAKE AN EVENT FOR YOUR CONCERT? Please read ---> HERE


DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CLASSICAL MUSIC TO JOIN OR ATTEND EVENTS?
No, you don´t. Whether you are a complete beginner or a Classical Music expert, you are very welcome to join us and become part of this fantastic group of people. We are a friendly group mostly in their 20s, 30s and 40s who get together regularly and share the same passion.


IS IT EXPENSIVE TO ATTEND CONCERTS?
Not necessarily. There are many concerts that are group events in which tickets are sold at $10 or so. For most of our events, you take care of purchasing and picking up your own ticket in any section you want, we meet before the performance for either dinner or a drink, sometimes during intermissions at a meeting point. Please carefully read each event description and you will know how the event you attend works.


HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BE A MEMBER?
Joining and remaining a member of our group is free. To support event organization, promoting our group and covering meetup.com monthly fees, there is a suggested contribution of $2 per event, pay-if-you-like system. Contributions are entirely voluntary, we really appreciate and need your support to continue creating great events for you. You can donate via PayPal (see link on our homepage) or in person to organizers during any event. You can also contribute by purchasing a New York Classical Music Meetup badge with our cute logo for $5 (shown above). This badge will also help you be spotted by other group members in a crowd. Business sponsors are most welcome.


HOW DO WE ATTEND MUSIC PERFORMANCES TOGETHER/HOW DOES THIS WORK?
For most performances, we get together at a restaurant for a light pre-concert brunch or dinner, then we go together to the concert hall. Sometimes we do seat together or near, depending on whether we got discount tickets or not. Some events have a meeting after concert, please stay tuned reading event descriptions, as each one is different.

FOR MOST CONCERTS, YOU WILL BE INSTRUCTED TO BUY YOUR OWN TICKET DIRECTLY FROM THE CONCERT HALL via a link on event description page, many times at a discounted price for us

Non-performance events many times require pre-payment to attend. Anyone with a regular credit card can pay via PayPal, a PayPal account is no longer needed for that. ALL our events include a social gathering with the chance to meet others.

WE STRONGLY recommend you get a free PayPal.com account and be familiar with paying online, this is important in any internet-based community like us

Event ratings should NEVER be related to quality, liking or disliking of a particular performance but to event organization and organizer´s work.
