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 which distract musicians and audience members, the beginning of most performances contain a pause to accommodate the seating of late arrivals. We also permit seating in between pieces, during applause. If you do arrive late, you can listen to and view the performance on TV monitors in the Mulroy Civic Center lobby. Unfortunately, some programs have no late seating due to the structure of a particular piece of music being performed. If you would like to know in advance about latecomer seating, please call the SSO Customer Service Center at (315) 424-8200 or (800) 724-3810. Also, you may be interested in attending "Behind the Music," the pre-concert talk prior to each Post-Standard Classics concert starting at 7:00 p.m.
