Program and artists are subject to change. There are no refunds or exchanges on single ticket purchases. Subscribers have the benefit of exchanging their season tickets, subject to availability. Ticket exchanges must be requested 48 hours before the concert weekend and are not available the day of the performance.

What If I Can’t Attend A Performance I Have Tickets For?
If you are a season subscriber, you may exchange your tickets for another performance during the same concert set. If you are a Mini-Series or Come As You Can subscriber, you may exchange your tickets for another performance within the core concert series. If you have single tickets, there are no exchanges.

If you are unable to use your tickets or exchange them for another date, you may donate your tickets back to SRS. We request that you turn in your donated tickets within 48 hours of the performance. A tax credit will only be mailed to you if we are able to resell the ticket.

I Am Not A Subscriber, Can I Exchange My Tickets?
No. Ticket exchange is a benefit for our subscribers only.

At The Performance

Can I Purchase Tickets At The Performance?
Yes. Single tickets can be purchased on the day of the concert at the theater beginning 1½ hours prior to the concert start, subject to availability.

Where Should I Park And How Much Does It Cost?
Free parking is available at the north and south entrances to the theater. Premier parking is available in the Bell Performance Club Lot for donors who give $2,000 or more per season. For more information, visit Support or email erickley@santarosasymphony.com.

What Should I Wear?
For SRS classical performances, most patrons wear nice casual to dressy or business clothes. Discover Rehearsals are generally more casual and Gala events are usually black tie.

May I Take Pictures During The Concert?
Cameras as well as other recording devices can create major distractions for the musicians and audience members around you. As a result, no still, video cameras or tape recorders of any kind are permitted.

What If I Have To Cough?
In an effort to help reduce distracting noises and enhance the concert-going experience, the Santa Rosa Symphony provides complimentary cough suppressant tablets to patrons, subject to availability. Please ask an usher if you would like one.

When Do Performances Start And End?
SRS performances vary in length depending on the program but are generally 2 hours which includes a 20 minute intermission. If there is an intermission, it will be noted in your program book. If you step outside the building during intermission, please be sure to have your ticket stub with you for reentry.

For exact timings please call the box office at (707) 546-8742.

When Is It appropriate To Applaud?
The audience will applaud to welcome the conductor when he or she walks out onto the stage. In most works performed at SRS, a movement is a large division of a larger composition or musical form. For example, symphonies are typically divided into four movements and concertos into three. It is appropriate to clap after the final movement of an entire work. If you're still not sure, you can always wait for the rest of the audience to clap before applauding. Another good sign is when the conductor either turns around or steps off the podium (the elevated "box" he or she stands on).

What Are Concert Conversations?
Concert Conversations are relaxed, informative 30-minute discussions with the conductor and begin one hour prior to each subscription series concert. These talks provide an insightful and entertaining introduction to the music, composers and guest artists.

FREE, before subscription concerts in the Main Theater. Saturdays at 7 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m., Mondays at 7 p.m.

Can I Bring Children To The Symphony?
Attending the symphony as a family is a great way to spend time together, but since live music is appreciated in a quiet environment and concerts tend to be too long for children we recommend attending the Discover Rehearsals. A good alternative to our regular subscription concerts, the Discovery Rehearsal is the final dress rehearsal on the Saturday of a performance weekend, beginning at 2 pm. While we do not have a policy forbidding children from attending regular subscription performances, we do ask that your child be well behaved in order to not disrupt the performance.

I Missed The Concert. Do You Have A Recording?
Santa Rosa Symphony subscription performances are broadcast on local public radio KRCB 90.9 FM/91.1 FM and also on Marin Cable 95.7 FM at noon on the second Sunday following concert weekends.

Can I Bring My Cellular Phone?
Cell phones, pagers, watches and other electronic devices that cause noise are not permitted in the theater. Please be courteous to our musicians and your fellow audience members and turn off any electronic devices prior to entering the theater.

What If I Am Late?
As a courtesy to the performers and the audience, latecomers will not be seated until the earliest appropriate program break, at the discretion of management. Please wait at the door nearest your seat and an usher will escort you at the appropriate break in the performance.
