Tips and Informations for You to Have a Good Time at Classical Concerts

If you're not used to go to classical concerts, you should notice it's not like other concerts, such as rock, jazz, pop, or whatever. There are some usual practices to make this more enjoyable, although you don't need to have previous knowledge about the composers and songs to have a good time. Follow the tips:

  1. Read the program. In every classical concert, there is a folder, in which you'll find descriptions of the music that will be played, who the composers are, and how many movements make up the symphony (or concerto, or suite, or whatever kind of song it is). Movements are "parts" of symphonies, such as "acts" in theater plays. It's good to memorize how many movements each symphony has, or take a look on your folder often, so that you'll know the time to applaud.
  2. Dress comfortably, but not carelessly. It's suggested to wear comfortable clothes, for you to feel well during the concert. Avoid using shorts and slippers: this breaks the visual harmony of the event.
  3. Maintain silence. Unlike other musical genres, classical music's details and delicate sounds require the silence of the audience.
  4. Know when to applaud. Maybe it's the most complicated thing in these concerts. You just applaud at the very end of the opus. It means, if the concerto or symphony has three movements, you're supposed to applaud only in the end of the third movement. It's the rule for every symphony or suite that will be played. So be sure you read the program and memorize the movements, or take a look at the folder if you need to. Don't applaud between movements of the same opus....
