Attending our concerts
Do I need to know about the music in advance?
Not at all! Just come along with open ears and an open mind; let the music do the rest….. but if you would like to find out more, free downloads are available to listen to in advance for most pieces, so too details about the composers and their works are easily accessible on the web. At the concert our conductor talks about the composers and pieces which enhances everyone’s experience.
What should I wear?
There is no dress code for Waveney Sinfonia concerts. Just wear whatever you feel most comfortable in.
When should I clap?
There are no set rules, though generally audience members wait until the end of a whole piece before clapping. Certain pieces are separated into movements – with a short pause in the music – during which most audience members choose not to applaud.
Can I take food and drink?
Please do not bring food into the concert venue, as it may impact on other audience members. A bottle of water may be brought in. Refreshments are generally served during the interval.

Will I be able to take photos?
We are happy for you to take photos at our concerts during applause breaks. We do, however, ask you to be mindful of disturbing the artists and other audience members. Please do share your concert experience with us and others on social media.

Will I be able to make a recording of the concert?
Recordings are not permissible without prior consent.
Smoking & vaping:
The use of all smoking materials (including vapes and e-cigarettes) are not permitted in any indoor areas of our concert venues.
