Dvořák's New World Symphony

About This Event

The Detroit Symphony Orchestra performs Dvořák's iconic Symphony No. 9, 'From the New World'.

What to Expect

• 1.Arrive early to park and locate your seat in Orchestra Hall, Detroit’s downtown concert venue. Build in time for security checks and easily finding the proper entrance.
• 2.Dress smart casual; Orchestra Hall leans refined, but comfortable shoes are fine if you expect a longer sit.
• 3.Silence your phone and keep conversations to a whisper; let the hall’s acoustics and the audience’s focus carry the performance.
• 4.There’s typically a short intermission—budget roughly 10-20 minutes to stretch, use the lobby restrooms, and grab a drink.
• 5.Clap at the end of the symphony (and any encores); movements are typically concluded separately, so avoid applause between movements unless the program indicates.
