Concert Etiquette
Attendees at our concerts are sometimes attending a symphony performance for the first time. We offer these tips:
--Dress is casual or dressy, as you prefer.
--Be on time; if you're late, we will ask you to wait outside the hall until the first major pause in the concert.
--Don't applaud until the very end of the whole piece, including all movements. Composers often write the several movements of piece in musically-related keys, or have some other relationship in mind that they want you to listen for. Applauding in between destroys that relationship.
--If you enjoyed the concert, feel free to tell the conductor. He's usually in the outer hall for several minutes after the concert.
--Have a good time, and please come back!
