The Great Falls Public Library and Great Falls Symphony are excited to announce that Maestro Robert Kahn is marking his debut on October 10th with a one-time gift of 100 tickets to the New World, New Beginnings concert through the Symphony Pass program.
The Symphony Pass partnership launched in 2025 and allows anyone with a Great Falls Public Library card to “check out” free tickets to the Symphony’s Classical Series concerts. For Kahn’s debut, 100 free tickets will be available through the Library.
“The Great Falls Public Library is thrilled to partner with the Symphony for another season, opening up access to music and the arts. It is in our mission to enhance our patrons’ quality of life by providing access to cultural resources, and the Symphony is just that: an incredible cultural resource. Together, we are brightening many lives, opening up the mind, and bringing art into this world. This increased gift from Maestro Kahn allows us to connect the arts with 100 more of our community members without a cost barrier.“- Sarah Cawley, Great Falls Public Library Community Engagement Coordinator
“The Great Falls Symphony is excited to share this special gift from Maestro Kahn with the Great Falls community. At our core, we believe that music belongs to everyone and that everyone belongs at the Symphony – not just those who can afford a ticket. This concert marks the beginning of a new era for the Great Falls Symphony, and we can’t wait to share our growth and plans for the future with all of you. Maestro Kahn invites you to check out a free ticket and join us on October 10th for his first performance as Music Director. We look forward to seeing you on concert night!”- Tia Spragg, Great Falls Symphony Marketing & Development Director
