We are proud to announce another wonderful season of great concerts, along with advertising opportunities for you! Now is the time to reserve your spot in our information-packed program books.

5,000+ established residents, many with above-average incomes and a wide range of service and product needs, are expected to attend our symphony concerts this year. These people are good candidates to be your next customers. Invest in your business today!

Our program books are a convenient 8.5” x 5.5” and feature full-color front and back covers. Depending on the concert, these are 36-44 pages long, with all advertisements placed strategically throughout and not clumped together at the end. Our symphony-goers will review the program cover-to-cover while waiting for the concert to begin, so they have time to see—and read—your ad.

As we celebrate our 128th season, this year’s theme is Feel the Wonder!
Visit battlecreeksymphony.org to see the full lineup and details. We’re thrilled to bring another inspiring year of music to Battle Creek and can’t wait to share these unforgettable performances with our community!

The deadline is fast approaching: July 1 for your contract and July 17 for your ad. Please call with your questions and get your contract in as soon as possible to secure your spot.

TMC had an incredibly busy and rewarding week out in the community, and hosted some amazing events of our own over the weekend!

We kicked things off with Percussion Workshops at Lakeview and Pennfield Schools in collaboration with the Brass Band of Battle Creek. On Tuesday, we attended a Board Fair event at New Holland Brewing Co. alongside many wonderful local nonprofits, hosted by Miller Foundation

Friday night brought us back to New Holland for Battle of the Bands, hosted by Penetrator Events— an event we are proud to sponsor! The Bands featured absolutely killed it! At the same time, we celebrated our talented students during our CMS Recital at KCC.

We wrapped up the week with our final BCCC Concert of the year on Sunday.

We are so grateful for the support of our community and for every opportunity to make a positive impact through music and the arts!
