Event Admission and Parking

General Admission Policies

With the exception to Music on the Bluff Series events, admission to MPSOM concerts and recitals is free. Donations will be accepted at select events to help offset professional development activities for student organizations. Your donation directly supports the education of our students. When applicable, we will have staff available at the door to accept cash donations or direct you to a web page to make a donation with a credit card via your mobile device.

Parking for On-Campus Events

Parking for visitors attending events at the Mary Pappert School of Music is available in the Forbes Avenue Parking Garage and the Locust Street Parking Garage for any event occurring after 5 p.m. on weekdays and on weekends. For events that occur Monday–Friday prior to 5 p.m., parking is available in the Chatham Garage.

In the event that PPG Paints Arena or the A.J. Palumbo Center has an event on the same day as a School of Music event, a higher event rate may be enforced. When this occurs, the School of Music will provide patrons an Affiliated Rate QR code, which will reduce the parking rate to standard evening/weekend rate.
