Tips & Advice
- Arrive early, around 6:30 PM, as doors open at this time and the performance begins at 7:30 PM to ensure you find good seating, especially in the GA sections.
- Consider the GA Gallery seating for a more budget-friendly option, but be aware it's only accessible by a narrow, winding staircase.
- Dress comfortably for an evening of classical music; while not strictly required, many attendees appreciate the ambiance of dressing slightly more formally for this type of performance.
- Familiarize yourself with the bag policy before arriving; only small clutches are allowed, and larger bags must be checked.
- Plan your transportation and parking in advance, as the Cathedral is located in a central area of Spokane, and popular events can lead to limited parking.
