When should I clap?

Generally, most concert goers clap after a selection is complete and not after each movement, consult your program book to find out how many movements each composition has. The other option is to wait until the conductor turns around to face the audience.

Experience has taught us that children under the age of six years of age become uncomfortable during a full length concert of two hours. All persons in the performing arts centers must have a ticket.
