Sliding Scale
Anna Crusis uses a sliding scale for concert tickets because we value accessibility and inclusivity. This policy relies on our audience, to be honest in selecting the level that best describes them.
Please take a moment to review these guidelines before determining which level ticket to purchase. Paying as much as you are able allows us to cover the costs of producing a concert, pay a fair wage to our artistic director and accompanist, and helps us continue to offer a sliding scale so everyone may enjoy our music.
Anna Crusis wants everyone to be able to experience our music regardless of financial resources. If the pianissimo price would be a financial burden for you (make it difficult to cover necessary purchases or rent), please email us at info@annacrusis.org for a ticket.
This scale is a modification of the work of Alexis J. Cunningfolk.
