Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Buy a ticket for the October 16 or 17 concert through the Get Tickets link on piffaro.org/concerts, or send the usher volunteer form..

You can just show up. You need to sign up first.

What to expect

The October concerts are held in churches and play Renaissance music on period instruments. Ushers arrive about 45 minutes before the performance and stay 15 to 20 minutes after it ends, and they get free admission.

Tips for your first visit

  • Ask for wheelchair or walker friendly seats when you order your ticket.
  • Full-time students with ID and youth can get free tickets, so have your ID ready.
  • The October 16 concert is at Church of the Holy Trinity in Rittenhouse Square, and the October 17 concert is at Presbyterian Church of Chestnut Hill.
  • For questions the FAQ does not answer, such as late seating and refunds, email info@piffaro.org or call 215-235-8469.
