Concert Notes
Applause Applause for the concertmaster is appropriate when he or she enters to prepare the orchestra for the concert. The conductor and guest soloists are always applauded when they walk out on stage. Clapping stops as soon as the conductor steps onto the podium and raises the baton. Applause for the music is held until the end of the entire work, refraining from applause between movements. Occasionally, when a concert program consists of many shorter pieces, the audience should applaud as it deems appropriate. Silence Since a concert is both auditory and visual entertainment, silence in the audience is of utmost importance. In addition to not talking during the performance, please refrain from any unnecessary noise and movement. Please try to be sensitive at all times to the rights of others seated around you. Movement If you arrive after the concert has begun, do not enter until there is a break in the program such as the end of a movement or a work. The ushers are trained to assist you at the door. Once in the hall, please refrain from movement unless it is an emergency, and if possible, wait until the end of a selection or movement. If you must leave during a movement, you will be asked to wait until an appropriate break to re-enter the hall.
