What people are saying about the ASO:

"It was a very enjoyable event, even for someone who does not understand music very well. Two hours and twenty dollars so well spent."

"This was our 3rd time and we brought some friends who had never been and they also loved it!"

“We always feel relaxed, happy, and more connected after a concert. Every performance we have attended as season ticket holders has been excellent.”

 "We ALWAYS look forward to Aurora Symphony. My son absolutely loves the Aurora Symphony! We all do."

Frequently Asked Questions:

• What should I wear? Come as you are! There's no dress code. Most people wear business casual, but jeans and a t-shirt are perfectly acceptable. We are not a stuffy orchestra!
• Do I need to know a lot about classical music to have a good time? New to classical concerts? Don't worry! Our conductor provides brief, friendly introductions to the concert and to each piece. Arrive early to attend his free pre-concert talk for an extra-special time.
• How long is the concert? Approximately 2 hours including one 20-minute intermission.
• Is there parking? Plenty of free parking is available.
• When should we arrive? Most people arrive 30-40 minutes before the concert to get great seats and enjoy our conductor's pre-concert talk (30 minutes before the performance).
• Are the concessions? There are no concessions or alcohol at the concert, but there are restaurants nearby for before or after. Water fountains are available.
• Are concerts good for kids? The ASO prides itself on being family friendly!  We understand that young kids are full of energy; however, it is expected that they sit quietly, and not be permitted to run around the auditorium before, during or after the performance.
