Are Symphony concerts appropriate for children?

Children who are mature enough to sit quietly during a concert, without disturbing their neighbors, should attend Wichita Symphony Masterworks or Pops performances. We recommend patrons with young children purchase seats near the aisle in case a restless child needs to be taken out of the concert hall during the performance. The Wichita Symphony reserves the right to ask any individuals who are disrupting fellow patrons or the concert setting to leave the hall.

All people, regardless of age, must have a ticket to attend the Wichita Symphony.

What provisions are made for patrons with disabilities?

Wheelchair Accessibility - There are wheelchair spaces in the Concert and Convention Halls. Please call the office at 316.267.7658 with questions.
Infrared Listening System- The Century II Concert and Convention Halls are equipped with an Infrared Listening System for hearing-impaired patrons. The system requires no cables or wires. Headsets are available at the box office. A personal ID is required, and will be returned when the headset is returned to the Symphony box office following the performance.
Restrooms - Handicapped-accessible restrooms are located on the first and second floors of the Concert Hall.
