Frequently Asked Questions

What about other noises?

Please turn off cell phones and pagers before entering the concert hall. Noises such as a cell phone ringing is very distracting to your fellow audience members, the conductor, and the musicians. Coughing can be an unavoidable problem. But there are ways to avoid coughing during the music. If you feel a cold coming on, please bring lozenges with you and unwrap them ahead of time. If there are no lozenges in hand and you need to cough once or twice, please try to wait for the end of the movement. Also, it is customary not to talk while the music is playing. Being sensitive to your neighbors allows everyone to have a more pleasant concert experience.
