SEPTEMBER – OCTOBER 2026
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 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:
• Kindly follow instructions from staff and security regarding late seating, restricted areas, and any emergency response procedures.
• 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!
