Boston Symphony Launches 'Casual Fridays' Allowing Casual Attire and iPads

By:

Want to wear your favorite casual attire to Symphony Hall? Three Friday-evening concerts-one each in January, February, and March-are designated "Casual Fridays" this season. You are invited to wear your favorite casual attire, and to arrive early to enjoy a free, pre-concert reception before you take your seat. This lowerpriced series also allows you to use tablets-to be provided by the BSO-if you choose to sit in a designated area in the rear of the orchestra floor. View customized content designed to enhance the concert experience, to include an in-depth look at the conductors and soloists, and informative notes on the program. Then, immediately after the performance, head to Higginson Hall in Symphony Hall's adjacent Cohen Wing, where, besides enjoying live music, snacks, and a cash bar, you are invited to mingle and share what you've just experienced at the BSO concert.

To purchase seats in the tablet designated area, rear of the orchestra floor, please select $45 Orchestra 5 or Orchestra 6 seats. The available ticket type will be shown as 'TabletSeat".
