The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra offers plenty of opportunities to go beyond the concert, including:

The J. K Family Foundation Words on Music
Join ISO Cellist Geoffrey S. Lapin one hour prior to each Lilly Classical Series concert for Words on Music, a spirited discussion of each performance with conductors, guest artists and other special guests.  Words on Music is free and open to all ticket holders.  Sponsored by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield.

Sound Off
Connect to the performance and get inside the mind of the performers with an interactive, multimedia exploration of each Symphonic Hits Powered by Lilly concert. The bar opens at 6:15pm and Sound Off begins at 6:30pm.  Sound Off is free and open to all ticket holders.  (Sound Off begins at 6:00pm on March 5-6.)

Hilbert Circle Theatre
The Circle Theatre opened in 1916 as one of the nation's first grand movie palaces. After a detailed and extensive renovation, it reopened on October 12, 1984 as the home of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. It was generously endowed by Stephen and Tomisue Hilbert in December 1996 and was renamed the Hilbert Circle Theatre.

The Theatre's intimate size (1,781 seats) and customized stage area for our 87-member ensemble create a superb venue for live performances.  The hall is available for rental for your special event.
