Olwen and Rick Searles have generously shared their thoughts on the benefits of being a Binghamton Philharmonic subscriber for the past three years.
What do you like about subscribing to the Binghamton Philharmonic?
The Binghamton Philharmonic is a world class orchestra!
What are some of your concertgoing traditions?
After concerts, we love to go to The Shop for coffee and dessert.
Subscriptions are about much more than tickets, and our subscribers enjoy some “deep benefits.” Tell us about one of your Philharmonic deep benefits.
The availability to engage with all members of the Philharmonic family and the events offered are ones, we feel, that can only be experienced by subscribers in a city of our size. It is a gem that I wish younger generations could learn to appreciate.
You are two of our subscribers who have donated tickets when unable to attend a performance.. Why would you do that?
It’s important to encourage more people to experience the joys of our Philharmonic.

As a subscriber, you have probably found your own way to manage COVID. Please share your thoughts on concert health and safety--and how prospective patrons could be encouraged to attend concerts in spite of lingering COVID concerns.
We worry less about COVID now that there are vaccines and boosters. We can’t wait to start enjoying the live experiences at the Forum!
Do you have any final comments?
Brian and Paul and everyone behind the scenes at the Philharmonic make it the treasure that it is!
