General information about Epworth concerts

Our number one priority is that you have a great time at our concerts. We know there are many options for entertainment – and not just in classical music. Netflix and other streaming services offer you an unlimited amount of entertainment and you don’t even have to leave your home!

If you have any questions at all, or think we could do something better, or need anything from us – please do not hesitate to send us an email or message, or talk to us at the ticket table.

How do I know if classical music is for me?

Epworth Choir like to sing a variety of music, some is more serious and formal than others but we encourage you to come along and see what you think. Lots of classical music is used for adverts, film and themes to your favourite TV programs so you might be surprised how much you already know.

What do I wear?

For our concerts, you can “come as you are“. You don’t need to wear a tuxedo or ballroom gown (though you’re certainly welcome to do so if you’d like!).  Please feel free to wear what you’re comfortable wearing.

When do I clap?

Everyone at Epworth would have the same answer for you – if you feel we have deserved your applause, we are incredibly grateful. Clap whenever you feel like it!
But… if you pressed us, typically audiences applause after the full piece has been performed. The programme will tell you if a piece has several sections (movements) which will have a short gap between them.

Can I use my phone?

We do ask that you keep your phone on silent and refrain from distracting other audience members.

You can take photos but please try not to do this in the middle of a piece and remember to tag us on our Facebook and Instagram pages.
