Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Arrive about 30 minutes early to purchase a beverage, find your seat, and review the program notes before the concert begins.
- Dress comfortably; while formal attire was once traditional, modern concert-goers wear anything from business casual to jeans and a sweater.
- To avoid disrupting the performance, latecomers will be seated during a suitable pause in the music.
- Applaud after the entire musical work is performed, not after each movement, unless unsure – then, clap with the rest of the audience.
- Be mindful of noise levels when enjoying beverages, such as shaking ice in your glass, to ensure a pleasant experience for all attendees.
