Often, those who are new to the Symphony are uncomfortable about attending concerts because they don’t know what to expect in terms of concert etiquette, and they may have heard that it is kind of “stuffy” with lots of rules. Relax!
The Symphony isn’t as intimidating as you might think. Use the tips on this page as a starting point to help you fully experience the superb live performances by the Sioux City Symphony Orchestra, whether it is your first time attending a concert or you are a seasoned concert-goer!
Symphony 101
You don’t need to know anything about classical music to enjoy yourself and appreciate the music and musicians. If you want to learn about the music before you hear it, we offer Pre-Concert talks free of charge before the classical programs.
Traditionally, Pre-Concert Talks begin at 6:45 pm and focus on the music you are about to hear, the composers and the impact this music has had historically.
We also include notes about the program in advance on our website and in our Program Book to inform our audience about the music being performed.
