what becoming a member means to you and our community

With the onset of our 2010-11 season, Portland Ovations continues its Membership program to better connect you with the performing arts.

For decades, our audiences have felt the singular connection that comes from attending live performances and community events that stimulate, excite, transform, and resonate. That potent bond with our community will be further strengthened by becoming a Portland Ovations Member. Your support in becoming a Member makes it possible for Portland Ovations to:

  • Offer diverse benefits to you personally, including “early-bird” access to the best tickets for performances, discounts, ticket exchange privileges, invitations to special “meet-the-artist” opportunities and other “members-only” events, and more.
  • Continue its 78-year tradition of bringing exceptional performing artists to Portland, including exceptional artists in classical music, jazz, opera, dance, theater, and Broadway.
  • Engage people throughout our community – from schoolchildren to senior citizens – with the performing arts through a wide range of community education and outreach programs.
  • Reach across socioeconomic boundaries by making ticket prices more affordable to the widest possible audience.
