Syracuse Symphony Orchestra

When should I arrive?

We try our best to begin all concerts on time. To help reduce noises in the concert hall that distract musicians and audience members, the beginning of most performances contains a pause to accommodate the seating of late arrivals. We also permit seating between pieces, during applause. If you do arrive late, you may listen to and view the performance on t.v. monitors in the Mulroy Civic Center lobby. Unfortunately, some programs have no late seating due to the structure of the particular music being performed. If you would like to know in advance about latecomer seating, please call SSO Customer Service at (315) 424-8200 or (800) 724-3810. Also, you may be interested in attending the Pre-Concert Talk prior to each Post-Standard Classics concert, beginning at 7:00 p.m. in the concert hall.
