WELCOME TO THE BALTIMORE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA .

Our commitment to you is to provide a comfortable , safe , and enjoyable experience in which all individuals — patrons , staff , artists , volunteers — are treated with humanity , respect , and dignity .

To ensure an exceptional and memorable experience every time you visit , we invite you to consider the following guidelines to help us achieve this shared goal :

• While we ask that photos and videos are not taken during the performance , we encourage you to capture the opening remarks and closing applause .

• Please be considerate of artists on stage and your fellow audience members .

• Your safety is our top priority , and to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment , we will take action to remove individuals who diminish that environment or harm others .

• We encourage sharing your BSO experience , so be sure to tag us on social media @ baltsymphony .

Thank you for joining us today , and we look forward to welcoming you back to the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall and The Music Center at Strathmore soon !

RECYCLING

In keeping with our responsible concert hall experience , the BSO will not be reissuing used copies of Overture between concerts . Help us minimize our waste and keep our BSO family healthy by making this copy of Overture yours . We encourage you to keep and bring back your personal copy of Overture for all concerts during the publication period .
