Can I bring my children?
- We love young children but discourage their attendance at evening concerts because of concert length. We recommend children be 6 or older to attend a Symphony concert and they need to have a ticket. Peanut Butter and Jam concerts are created especially for children ages 5-12 and their families.
- We do ask parents to take disruptive children out of the concert hall and tickets are not refunded.
When do I applaud?
- Usually after all movements of a piece are completed. When the conductor puts down her baton and turns to the audience it is appropriate to applaud. See program book for movements in the piece.
- Holding applause between movements is considered respectful to the musicians’ concentration and mindful of musical continuity.

- Cameras and other recording devices are not permitted.
- Please turn off all cell phones and pagers before concert begins.
