What To Know


THE ORCHESTRA EXPERIENCE

your way


Whether it's your first time coming to see us or you're a seasoned veteran, we look forward to seeing you!

WHAT TO EXPECT

Fully ADA-compliant facility and plenty of free parking. 

Welcoming atmosphere and lots of smiles

Dress code: Want to dress up? You will be in good company in slacks or a dress for women, but if you want to wear jeans – that’s OK too. It’s about the music, not the dress code. Please wear what makes you comfortable. 

When should I clap? It’s customary not to clap between movements, but if it moves you -that’s OK. If the unknown makes you slightly nervous, you can look to the conductor for clues. If his arm is raised, there is more to come in the piece of music. 

You can also check the program to see how many movements a piece has, which can help you know when the piece is over. 

we want to see you


YOUR PRESENCE AT OUR CONCERTS MEANS MORE THAN YOU KNOW.

By purchasing an in-person ticket, you directly support our dedicated musicians, whose passion and talent bring our performances to life. Your attendance not only enhances your own experience but also ensures the vibrancy and energy of the concert. If you cannot attend in person, the live stream is a good option, but if you have the choice, we would love to see you in the concert hall. Your presence matters.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
