What to Expect

Health & Safety Requirements

The Chamber Orchestra follows the health and safety guidelines set forth by our venues - we do not require patrons to wear masks. However, masks are available at the ticketing desk for those who would like one.

What are the rules?

There aren’t many - be respectful and quiet while the music is playing, and you’ll be in great shape.

What should I wear?

Wear what you like - business casual is most common, but jeans and a t-shirt are a-okay!

When should I clap?

Clapping when the conductor turns around is usually best. Still unsure? Just follow along with the rest of the audience.

Where should I sit?

Our Ent Center concerts have reserved seating - check with an usher to find your seat. Most other concerts are general admission, so sit where you’d like!

Can I bring the kids?

Children aged 6+ are always welcome!
