Giving Back to Philadelphia Teachers

As a non-profit organization, the Kimmel Cultural Campus and The Philadelphia Orchestra celebrate and support local Philadelphia teachers all season long with free or heavily discounted tickets, both for themselves and for their students/classrooms. From free concerts by The Philadelphia Orchestra, exclusive invites to Broadway shows, and more – we are proud to invite the hard-working educational communities of our city to delight in the arts.

Teachers, administrators, and staff of the School District of Philadelphia can receive free or heavily discounted tickets to performances by The Philadelphia Orchestra by registering for the APPLE program. APPLE (Appreciation Program for PhilaSD Leaders in Education) is valid for select concerts all season long to see the GRAMMY Award-winning Orchestra in their home at Verizon Hall Registration is easy for Philadelphia School District employees! Just register with your District e-mail address and keep an eye on your email for free ticket offers and special savings. APPLE tickets are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis and must be redeemed online.

Using the promo code INSPIRE at checkout, local teachers can also access heavily discounted tickets to a variety of performances across genres, including Broadway, comedy, jazz, dance, and more. Plus, join our educator email list to receive invites to Teacher Appreciation Events held on our Cultural Campus throughout the year.
