Tickets for our Official Season and special events are primarily available through La Tiquetera. We recommend checking the Programming section to confirm the sales channel for each event.
We recommend arriving at least 30 to 45 minutes before the time indicated on your ticket.
Filarmed Bonus! For our Season Concerts, we invite you to arrive an hour early to attend our “Orchestra Spoiler”—a free, educational talk where experts, musicians, or the conductor share insights, anecdotes, and key ideas about the evening’s repertoire.
Arriving early allows you to settle into your seat, review the program, and enjoy this exclusive content. Out of respect for the musicians and audience, please note that entry may be restricted once the concert has started.
Medellín is famous for its transformation, and the Orquesta Filarmónica de Medellín is the heartbeat of that change. Beyond classical masterpieces, we perform "Sinfonía de la Transformación" and Latin-American repertoires that you won’t find in Europe or North America. It’s a unique opportunity to witness how music builds peace and social cohesion in Colombia while enjoying a world-class symphonic performance.

Our main venues, such as the Teatro Metropolitano, are located in well-connected areas with professional security and easy access via ride-sharing apps (Uber, Cabify) or the Metro system. We recommend arriving 30 minutes early to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the surroundings.
Music is the universal language. While our programs and some narrations are in Spanish, the emotional power of the Orquesta Filarmónica de Medellín transcends words. For many of our special events, we provide visual cues and digital programs that are easy to follow, ensuring an inclusive experience for our international guests.
The most reliable way is through La Tiquitera, our official ticketing partner. The website accepts international credit cards. We highly recommend booking in advance, especially for our "Tributos" or "Pop" symphonic series, as they tend to sell out quickly among both locals and expats.
Definitely. One of our hallmarks is the fusion of symphonic excellence with local rhythms like Cumbia, Porro, and Tango.
