All members of the BFO Patrons program have the opportunity to purchase season tickets more than a week before they go on sale to the general public.
Supporters are invited to join us for several exclusive dress rehearsals and a Christmas champagne toast each year. Our Gold Supporters are invited to join the BFO on tour.
Benefactors have the opportunity to participate in receptions held in the intermissions of our concerts, in our tours and in our dinners for supporters.
Gold-level members of the Conductor’s Circle may join Iván Fischer for a toast after one of our concerts.
