Most Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra concerts take place at Elmhurst Christian Reformed Church.

People enjoy concerts most when they are comfortable. Sometimes folks choose to dress up to the nines and make an evening of it, but most people wear everyday casual clothes. You do you!

We recommend you arrive 15-20 minutes before the concert start time to get a good parking spot, use the restroom, and find your seat.

Elmhurst Christian Reformed Church features three large parking lots adjacent to the building. Parking is free.

Water, coffee, and tea are all permitted in the concert hall. Soda and other sugary/sticky beverages are not permitted. Food is not permitted.

Treat your concert experience like a movie theater – silence your phones and please no talking or texting during the performance.

About 2 hours, including intermisison.

We recommend: 

• Best Sound: Buy seats on the Main Floor in the Center Section. 
• Best Sight: Try the Gallery to get a big panoramic view of the entire orchestra.
• Best Price: Seats on the Main Floor in the Right Section or Left Section is the best value.

Adult $35–$45

Senior $32–$42

Student $12 (with ID)

Short Answer: It's complicated. If you're nervous about clapping at the wrong time, just wait for somebody else to start clapping first. Seriously.

Long Answer: Read When to Clap at the Symphony

You can attend pre-concert talks 75 minutes prior to most performances, and read more about the music in the concert program guide.
