Attire

Why do musicians have a dress code for concerts? The goal is to keep the focus on the music and to limit distractions for the audience. If most performers adhere to a dress code and one performer only has brightly colored gym shoes and white socks, it draws unwanted attention away from the music. So, to limit distractions we ask all performers to wear…

• Orchestra Polo
• Black Dress Slacks / Long Skirt
• Black Dress Shoes & Socks (no gym shoes)
