CCMS concerts begin at 3:00 p.m.; doors open at 1:30 p.m. for the pre-concert lecture.
Patrons should arrive no later than 15 minutes prior to the start of the performance to allow ample time to use the Hall's facilities, find seats, and settle in for the performance.
While there is no dress code for the CCMS performances, patrons generally wear business casual attire.
Late seating during the concert will take place during the first convenient pause in the program. Late seating during the pre-concert lecture is permitted.
Once a concert is underway, we request that you don't talk, whisper, sing, hum, or move personal belongings. This will ensure that you, other patrons, and the performers enjoy the full benefits of the performance. Patrons should also refrain from entering and exiting the hall while a performance is in progress. Ushers are stationed at entrances and exits. If you must leave your seat, please proceed quickly and quietly to the nearest door or ask the nearest usher for assistance.
Cellular phones, beepers, watches, electronic organizers, and other noise-alarm devices should be switched to silent mode or turned off completely.
Please applaud only at the close of a full piece of music. The program page, which lists individual movements of longer compositions, and the program notes can help you follow the orchestra's progress through each piece and determine the appropriate moments to applaud.
For information on a particular concert, please see the program notes found in the program book. We encourage everyone to attend the informative and entertaining pre-concert lectures given by noted musicologist Steven Ledbetter. The lecture provides background on the composers, the composition process, the story behind the music, and previous performances, and highlight significant passages or instruments.
There is a short 15 minute intermission at each concert. No food or beverage is allowed inside the the concert hall.
Camera and recording equipment are prohibited during concerts.
