“I’ve never been to a symphony before,what should I expect?”

Live music performances offer a completely unique experience for every person. When you attend a Wichita Falls Symphony Orchestra concert, you’ll find a talented group of professional musicians and guest artists performing exciting and engaging classic and pops music.

Music is carefully selected each season to provide WFSO concert-goers with a unique and exciting experience.

Even if you are not familiar with classical music the concert will be an enjoyable experience. Many of today’s popular songs, television shows, and movies include classical themes, so there’s a good chance you will recognize some of the music at our concerts.

What should I wear?

It’s your experience, dress how you feel comfortable! There is no dress code. We believe you should feel comfortable. You will see many guests in casual business attire while others prefer to dress up for a special night out. At our concerts, you’ll see everything from khakis to cocktail dresses.

Is there an intermission?

Yes! There will be an intermission midway through the performance. Intermissions are usually fifteen to twenty minutes long. This gives you a chance to socialize, enjoy a glass of wine or softdrink, or visit the facilities.

Where are WFSO concerts located?

When should I arrive?

We recommend you arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the start of the performance. This will allow time to park and find your seat in the auditorium. If you arrive after the concert has started, ushers will escort you to your seat at an appropriate break in the concert.

When do I clap?

Modern audiences tend to wait until the end of an entire piece to clap. Why? Holding applause between movements is considered to be respectful to the performers' concentration and mindful of musical continuity. The conductor will let you know when a piece is over by putting his baton down and turning to face the audience.
