The Symphony of Northwest Arkansas (SoNA) announced its 2017-18 season that includes a lineup of six mainstage concerts beginning in mid-October and continuing through early May.
All concerts will be performed in Baum Walker Hall at Walton Arts Center in Fayetteville.
“This season is sure to be a special one – emotionally-charged and packed with variety,” said Music Director Paul Haas. “We’ll romp through famous movie music in a jazz-infused pops performance, and light up the stage with our Christmas spectacular and family Snowman concert – both Northwest Arkansas holiday traditions.”
Season subscriptions ($125-$235) and single tickets ($30-$52) are on sale now at sonamusic.org/tickets. Tickets for The Snowman: A Family Concert are $9. Children ages 12 and under are $10 each with the purchase of an adult ticket. College student tickets are $10 each with a valid student ID. Groups of 10 or more receive a 10 percent discount.
