7 @ 7:07 – Seven things to listen for in the concert!
7:07 PM | Before Saturday Classical Series Concerts

Join SDSO Assistant Conductor Thomas Fortner as he leads a pre-concert talk highlighting interesting features of the concert that evening. This fast-paced and energetic lecture takes place in the north lobby of the third floor prior to every Saturday evening Classical Concert.

It is common courtesy to wait to applaud until a piece is finished. The end of a work is signified by the conductor putting his arms down and turning towards the audience. If you are unsure, you can wait for the rest of the audience to clap before you join in.

Contrary to what most people think, formal attire is not required at symphony concerts. Most concert goers wear business casual.

Performances are usually two hours long with a fifteen-minute intermission. Drinks are available for purchase in the lobby before the concert and at intermission.

No photography or videography is allowed in the concert hall.

Children are welcome at all performances.  However, we strongly recommend concert attendees to be age 5 and up for classical concerts.  Pops concerts are designed for audiences of all ages.  It’s important that the performances are enjoyable for everyone.  Out of respect for your fellow audience members, if your child is restless, please leave the hall immediately.  Everyone, regardless of age, is required to have a ticket.
