Join the Austin Symphony BATS, the ASO’s young professionals group, for its exciting 26th season of dynamic performances, exclusive events and great parties!

When it comes to masterworks performances, your membership provides premier seating in the Mezzanine with other BATS members, to four pre-selected shows in Dell Hall chosen by Maestro Peter Bay. After each of these concerts, Symphony BATS will host a post-performance party at one of Austin’s evening hot spots. (Your membership covers food & drink at the post-performance party and seats to the concert!) 

In addition with your membership, there will be happy hour events, an exclusive look at the Symphony, education events, and fun volunteer opportunities.

A BATS membership is the best value among all the young professionals groups in town. Where else can you hear live music, eat, drink, meet world-famous guest artists, discuss music with the Maestro and musicians?
