What to Expect
Concerts are offered admission-free, begin at 6:30 PM, and last about 1 hour.
The Pavilion opens at 5:30 PM. Pavilion seating is available from the East Entrance (WestLake Road) for each of the nine evening orchestra concerts. Ushers will direct you to line up for seating inside the Pavilion. Everyone must be seated no later than 6:15 PM when all unoccupied seats will be released to the community.
The Sun Valley Pavilion will open earlier than 5:30 PM for those concerts that are expected to have high attendance. There will be open seating from any entrance for the Edgar M. Bronfman Chamber Series, the Musicians’ Choice Chamber Music concerts and the Family Concert.
Please observe the following concert etiquette so that everyone may enjoy the music:
• Please set all mechanical and electronic devices (watches, telephones, pagers,
PDAs, other communication and medical devices, etc.) which emit rings, beeps,
alarms and other sounds to their non-audible settings.
• Please, no photography, audio or video recordings during performances. You are
welcome to take photos during curtain calls and before and after the concerts.
• Families are welcome, but remember that Pavilion seating for evening concerts
is most appropriate for children over the age of 11. Everyone can enjoy the music
if your children sit quietly with you.
• Please explain to your children that loud voices, running and playing are disrespectful
to other concertgoers and to the orchestra.
• Large coolers and glass containers are safety hazards and are not permitted inside the
Pavilion. Pavilion audience members are asked to please consume any food prior to the concert.
• No dogs, other than assistance canines, are permitted inside the Pavilion.
• Picnicking is welcome in the park surrounding the Pavilion. Please wait until 4:00 PM on the
day of the concert to set up your chairs or blankets.
Restrooms
Restrooms are located on the east and west sides of the Pavilion and at the back of the Lawn.
