Relaxed Performance
Thursday, November 6 at NJPAC in Newark
The Thursday matinee will be a Relaxed Performance, designed to accommodate the differing needs of our patrons of all abilities, including individuals with autism, sensory sensitivities, or cognitive and physical differences. This concert supports the New Jersey Symphony’s mission to make orchestral music accessible to all by removing barriers often found in traditional concert settings. Audience members are encouraged to enter and exit the concert hall as needed throughout the performance and bring comfort items like sensory tools or stuffed animals that will aid in enhancing your musical experience! Accommodations such as large-print programs, sensory guides, a relaxation room, and more are also available.
Please note: If you are someone who prefers silence when you are enjoying a concert, this performance may not be the best fit for you. There may be movement, vocalizations, and other sounds throughout the hall. The shared expectation for all attendees is to help foster a warm, non-judgmental, and accepting atmosphere for everyone.
