What to Expect
- 1.Plan to arrive about 20–30 minutes early to park, go through security, and locate your seat in Orchestra Hall.

- 3.Clap after Mahler's Ninth finishes; avoid talking during the performance to respect the musicians and neighbors.
- 4.Intermission is typical for a long symphony—use it to stretch, check the program notes, and grab a drink if available.
- 5.If you need accessibility help or large-print materials, ask venue staff and use the program to follow along with the conductor's interpretation.
