of Klezmer, Roma and Québecois,
this music is contagious. See

Advance
tickets
Starting this winter, advance tickets for all CSPS shows are only
available through
MidwesTix.com,
an online service based in Des Moines.
While change
can be awkward, this is one change we feel pretty good about. MidwesTIX.com
is small and local, a responsible, public-spirited company that keeps its
service charges low, gives back to the community, and is genuinely
supportive of artists and arts organizations.
This change also means that audience members can purchase tickets at their
convenience, day or night, 24-7. Advance-price tickets
may be purchased up to 5 pm the day of the show. And we'll
continue to monitor and tweak this arrangement so that it works for
you— the audience on whom
we and our artists depend. Let us know
your thoughts.
Student rush
As long as seats are available, full-time
students 21 and under can see any show at CSPS for only $5. Just show up at
the box office with your student ID 30 minutes before the show. CSPS on Twitter and Facebook
