What is the Deal with UNTUXED? The Answers to All of Your Questions and More!

Thursday, October 12 at noon, will mark our first UNTUXED concert of the season. We’ve moved the series from Saturday afternoons to Thursdays at lunch. Our first bite-sized performance features Carl Nielsen’s Symphony No. 2, one of the works being performed that night at the Fung Plays Shostakovich concert (part of our Thursday Classics series).

Here’s what you need to know:

• Doors open at 11 am. Bring your lunch and make your way up to the Piano Nobile (second level)
• At noon, RBC Assistant Conductor Monica Chen will present a 10 to 12-minute pre-concert chat with wonderful and interesting facts about the work you’re going to hear.
• Afterwards, you’ll be guided into the hall where the orchestra and conductor will perform the work in all its symphonic glory! (Please note that NO food is allowed in the hall).
• The whole UNTUXED experience is about an hour. You’ll be done by 1 pm.

• UNTUXED concerts all have assigned seating, and tickets are just $20 (INCLUDING taxes and venue fees).

• Or you can purchase the whole season (4 concerts) of UNTUXED concerts for just $50.

Who should come to UNTUXED concerts?

EVERYONE is welcome! But UNTUXED performances are perfect for:

• A music lover looking for a unique lunchtime experience.
• Someone new to classical music who wants to get an idea for what it’s like.
• Anyone for whom a full 2-hour evening concert is no longer possible due to the time, the length, and/or any other accessibility issues.
• Stay-at-home parents or caregivers looking for affordable and unique experiences to do with their kids or the people they care for.
• Anyone who does not feel comfortable being in large crowds but would still like to experience a live performance.
