How To Dress
Now is the time to let go of any preconceptions you may have about a dress code at the Symphony. Simply stated, wear whatever makes you comfortable and most importantly, allow yourself to go with the music. Many people enjoy dressing up and making a special night of it, and you can, too. However, if it's your favorite pair of khakis and a comfortable sweater that allows you to feel the rhythms and follow the tunes, wear them!
