FAQs
Concert length varies, but we recommend planning for about two hours, including an intermission. Digital programs include the specific music run-time, which can give you a better idea of the concert length. Please note that music run-time only covers the pieces being performed and does not account for speaking between pieces, applause, etc.
At most of our venues, if you arrive after the concert has begun, an usher will seat you at an appropriate time, such as during applause or intermission.
Come as yourself! There’s no dress code, so wear what makes you feel comfortable. You’ll see everything from business and cocktail attire to casual and creative styles.
We ask all audience members to silence their phones before the performance begins. Photos and videos are prohibited, as light from screens can be distracting.
