Special Notice – Concert Etiquette

Teachers: Please post in your studio so that your students and families can read this notice regarding concert etiquette.

The Ushers at Benson Great Hall will close the doors to the hall at the beginning of each recital. The ushers will allow entrance to the hall only through the door in the back of the hall and between pieces when there is applause. It is very important that the hall is totally quiet, especially during a solo performance.

When the doors at the back of the hall are opened between pieces, people may enter and sit in the back only.

Please stay seated once the program has begun. Out of respect for the performers onstage, there should be no movement in the hall during pieces.

Please plan to stay for the duration of the recital to ensure all performers have a supportive audience.

If people have entered the performance late they may visually find their family while sitting in the back, and, at the next applause break, go and join them.

Please make sure all cell phones are off for the duration of the performance.

Thank you, Julia Bartsch bartschmusic@gmail.com
