Sitting Through A California Chamber Orchestra Session

By Ronald Burns


Heading out to see artists perform live is very exciting. Individuals can see them in their element where they use their natural skills. Everyone gets to see the mistakes that they make making the experience more real and interesting to watch. The paragraphs below explain how one can prepare for a California Chamber Orchestra concert.

Dress comfortably. Individuals are free to wear whatever they want when going to watch people perform. There are those who wear casual outfits which are composed of jeans and casual t-shirts. Other people dress up and are seen in tuxedos and nice gowns. In situations where a dressing code is necessary, the information is communicated to the audience so that everyone is aware of what is expected of them.

Eat enough food before the concert. These things take time. Although there are breaks so that individuals can rest, they do not provide enough time for one to grab food and enjoy it. Those who end up here having not eaten will have to wait until the concert is over to rush and eat. This wait may seem long, and individuals will not enjoy the music while hungry.

Avoid any preconceived ideas about what to expect. Step into the place with a clear head and ready to see what the professionals have prepared. People often enjoy the sweet melodies produced skillfully through various instruments. Although this is a new experience for many people, they often hear rhythms familiar to certain songs they have heard before

Identify the age limits set for the audience. Every session is different. There are those that have restrictions for those who can attend while others are just for everybody. Concerts that will go on for a while are not appropriate for kids. They can easily disrupt the music, and this will affect the instrumentalists and ruin the whole set up.

Arrive early. The proper time to get to the venue is half an hour before it starts. This time enables people to find their seats and get familiar with the place. Most concerts start on time. Movement is not allowed once they do. Those who arrive at a later time will have to wait until there is a break so that they can get to where their seats are located.

Silence noisy electronics. There is nothing as distracting to the artists as a ringing mobile phone. Most people forget and come in with their gadgets at their highest volume. To prevent such noisy situations, they should either switch them off or ensure that they are silent. Recording of the activities taking place is not allowed.

Applaud at the right time. It is always awkward to start clapping when no one else is doing the same. The performers might have taken a slight pause in their piece making someone feel as if they are done. Applauding at a time when they intended to continue is noisy and interrupts the flow of activity. Clap when other people are clapping as well or when the musicians lower their instruments.
