How to, and how to NOT attend a concert....
"Excuses heard in dark alleys…
"But I don't own a tuxedo!"
"I don't know enough - I'm not an EXPERT."
"But I'm not rich. Aren't orchestra concerts only for the upper-crust?"
Allow us to clear some things up. We want you to know you are welcome and appreciated at every concert. Your experience is important to us, even if symphonic music is new to you.
Myth: You have to get "all dressed up" to attend a concert.
Reality: We think people enjoy concerts most when they are comfortable. Formal attire is Not required at Orchestra concerts. You'll see concert goers in suits, vests, sweaters, skirts, khakis, slacks,… everything!
Myth: Only the "Experts" can truly appreciate great music.
Reality: There are no Experts! Everyone experiences music in a very personal way and no two people will have identical reactions. Though some people choose to study music as a hobby or profession, we believe their opinion is just as important and valid as yours.
Myth: Serious concerts are only for the rich or well-heeled.
Reality: Great music attracts people from all walks of life. True, Orchestra audiences are a discerning group who appreciate the best in music. The Orchestra of the Southern Finger Lakes audience is diverse and welcoming to all."
