Want to experience live performance arts but need more budget-friendly options? Local arts organizations are now partnering to offer a variety of shows in a discounted bundle.

The Annapolis Symphony Orchestra, Ballet Theatre of Maryland, Classic Theatre of Maryland and Live Arts Maryland will offer tickets to three performances of your choice for $29 each. Dubbed Get Your Magic, the collaboration aims to bring new audiences to each organization.

Programs include piano and violin concertos; holiday favorites such as the Nutcracker, Holiday Pops and the Messiah; cabaret shows; and Broadway style performances.

“If you’ve ever wanted to experience the symphony, ballet, theatre or live arts, now is the time,” said Edgar Herrera, executive director of the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra. “This unprecedented collaboration allows you to discover the crème de la crème of local performing arts at an equally unprecedented ticket price.”
