During the concert

Concerts are usually 90 minutes of music with a 20 minute intermission.

Wondering what to wear? That’s easy: where what makes you feel comfortable for a great night out with friends. There is no specific dress code. You’ll see anything from cocktail attire to sweater and jeans. You do you! However, we do suggest that you refrain from wearing scented products like cologne or perfume as others in the audience may be allergic.

Clap or not? We, too, are often carried away with the beauty and awesomeness of the orchestra and want to stand and shout Huzzah! like the rowdy audiences of earlier centuries when much of classical music was composed and premiered. However, with applause between movements you might miss the subtle transitions. Maestro Golka will sometimes especially point out something to listen for, and this is often enhanced by curbing your enthusiasm until the piece ends. At which point we encourage you to jump to your feet and applaud riotously as the music and musicians deserve!

To ensure the enjoyment of all audience members, the use of flash photography is prohibited and we ask you to please silence all electronic devices.
