Welcome to the Magic Philharmonic Orchestra!

If you’re checking out this page, you’re probably planning to join us for an upcoming concert—and we couldn't be more excited to welcome you!

We want everyone, especially first-time concertgoers, to feel completely at home with our orchestra. Our goal is to make your live music experience welcoming, straightforward, and fun, but we realize that going to a live concert can be intimidating if you’ve never been before. We’ve prepared some FAQs below and hope that is helpful.

Still have questions? Reach out to us on social media (Facebook or Instagram).

Common Questions:

  • Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable. You will see people in everything from Sunday best to casual jeans and a T-shirt. There is no dress code—come as you are!

  • Plan to arrive about 15 to 20 minutes before the performance begins. This gives you plenty of time to park, pick up tickets (if you haven’t bought them online already), find a seat, and be ready for the concert without rushing.

  • The King Fine Arts Center is a wonderful venue and you will be able to enjoy the concert from anywhere in the house. It is constructed on a slope so you have a great view of the stage further back. That said— it’s going to sound awesome to be closer to the front (especially the front, middle section), so come early and get yourself a good seat!

  • Our traditional season concerts (Fall, Christmas, and Spring Concerts) are first come/first serve seating in the King Fine Arts Center.

    We have a wonderful opportunity to accompany Jenny Oaks Baker for the Redeemer concert, and those tickets will be sold by reservation. You can reach us anytime via our contact page or email. We aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.

  • Feel free to take photos before the concert begins, during applause, or at intermission. During the performance, please keep phones on silent and tucked away so the light and sound do not distract the musicians or the audience around you.

  • Applaud when you feel inspired, especially after a great solo, a full piece finishes, or when the conductor and/or soloists take the stage. If you are unsure between movements, you can follow the rest of the audience or the conductor lowering their baton.

  • Yes! Live orchestral music is a wonderful experience for families, and we are working hard to offer family discounts so that children in our community can experience life, high quality orchestra music at a young age. If a younger child needs a quick break during a piece, feel free to step into the lobby and re-enter between pieces.

  • Most concerts run about 90 minutes including a 10-15 minute intermission midway through the program.

  • Yes, but we do ask that they are silenced in order to avoid distracting the performers and other audience members.
