The annual South Dakota State University School of Performing Arts Spring Festival of Music includes five concerts held April 12-14. Each concert outside of the chamber ensembles will be in the Performing Arts Center’s Larson Memorial Concert Hall on campus. The chamber ensembles will be in Founders Recital Hall.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students. A family package—which allows four-or-more individuals to attend—is available for $30. South Dakota State students receive free admission with an ID. The purchase of one ticket admits its holder to all five concerts.
