BETHEL, NY (April 5, 2012) –  As part of the continuing efforts and commitment to make arts programming open and accessible to the community, Bethel Woods Center for the Arts has expanded the Experience the Arts Ticket Access Program to include the three-performance Classical Series at the Event Gallery. For every ticket purchased to a performance in the Classic Music Series, Bethel Woods will donate one ticket to qualified students, community and social service organizations within the region to inspire exploration of the arts.

The opening concert presented by Bethel Woods and the Delaware Valley Chamber Orchestra features the Dorian Wind Quintet on Friday, April 20 at 8:00 p.m. The intimate indoor series continues with pianist Navah Perlman on Saturday, June 9 at 7:30 p.m. and ends with the Grammy Award winning Parker Quartet on Saturday, September 22 at 7:30 p.m.

Reserved seat tickets can be purchased at www.BethelWoodsCenter.org, the Bethel Woods box office or by phone at 800-745-3000. Tickets for Dorian Wind Quintet are available for $20.00, and tickets for Navah Perlman and the Parker Quartet are $42.00 in advance. A subscription series that features savings and convenience is available for only $99.00. Act now and guarantee the same seat for each performance.

Prolonged exposure to music and the arts fosters creativity, teaches collaboration, and instills discipline. Bethel Woods is committed to offering affordable access to high-quality programs for everyone in the community, regardless of income level or access to metropolitan New York. The Ticket Access Program enables qualified organizations with constituents who would otherwise be unable to attend an event the opportunity to enjoy and participate in educational and entertaining programs.

Those interested in purchasing tickets for the Classical Series are encouraged to buy their tickets in advance, in effort to maximize the number of complimentary tickets donated. Classical Series tickets have been donated to the Alzheimer’s Association and Sullivan ARC with additional organizations scheduled to benefit.
