FAQ's

Symphonic music is a marvel that fills each listener’s soul. You are not required to dress formally to experience it in person!

Although denim is rarely seen, it is important for our patrons to dress in a manner that makes them comfortable.

You’ll see formal business attire (suit/tie for men, dresses for women) or more casual attire (khaki pants/golf shirt for men, slacks/casual dress for women).

We welcome children ages 5+ at our concerts. Tickets are required for children, regardless of age.

Anyone who is a student under the age of 25 can take advantage of our $10 ticket price, but these are only available for purchase at the box office an hour before concert time and are subject to seat availability (student ID must be presented).

Learn more about our Education Outreach programs.

Ushers are instructed to seat latecomers at the end of a movement, and they will indicate when you may enter the hall to take your seat.

We request that you refrain from taking photos or recording videos during performances as it is distracting to both the performers and other audience members. However, feel free to take photos before and after the concert, and during intermission.

Outside food and drinks are not permitted in the concert hall. Beverages and snacks are available for purchase in the lobby before the concert and during intermission.

There are no age restrictions for our concerts. However, we do recommend that children be able to sit quietly for the duration of the performance. For younger children, please check the concert length before attending.

No, but we encourage any interested patrons to arrive in time for “Illuminations,” which is held an hour before each MasterWorks concert begins. This program is hosted by our maestro and offers insights into the evening’s musical selections, the composer, the soloist, and other interesting information.

If that isn’t an option for you, the complete printed program, including information about the music and soloist, will be emailed to ticketholders a few days prior to the concert. Take a moment to look through to learn more about the concert’s featured works!

You may also want to consider arriving about 30 minutes before the start of a concert and join members of our board in the lobby where you can learn more about us and the Friends of the Aiken Symphony.
