The South Carolina Philharmonic Announces Palmetto Citizens Educator Discount

The South Carolina Philharmonic (SC Phil), in partnership with Palmetto Citizens Federal Credit Union, has announced a special offer for South Carolina educators. The new Palmetto Citizens Educator Discount provides a 50 percent discount on tickets for SC Phil concerts held at the Koger Center for the Arts and is available to all educators, including those from public schools, private schools and homeschool groups.

“The SC Philharmonic is committed to making music accessible for everyone,” say Chad Henderson, marketing director for the SC Phil. “While our mission is to provide students with unique music education programs, we also wanted to honor and thank the educators who devote their lives to enriching the advancement of students in South Carolina. Partnering with Palmetto Citizens has made this goal a reality.”

Palmetto Citizen partners with the SC Phil to support educational opportunities for thousands of students in the Midlands. Through this collaboration, Palmetto Citizen and the SC Phil are working together to expand access to high-quality educational programming, underscoring the vital role of arts and community engagement in student development.

“Palmetto Citizens was founded by local educators nearly 90 years ago, and that legacy still guides our work today,” says Emilie Lewis, director of community engagement. “Partnering with the South Carolina Philharmonic to offer an educator discount is a meaningful way to say thank you and recognize the lasting impact teachers have on students and our communities.”

Notifications will also be sent to district administrators, school educators and homeschool groups to inform them of how to procure tickets through the Palmetto Citizens Teacher Discount.
