Myth Only the “Experts” can truly enjoy classical music.
Reality There are no “experts”! Everyone experiences music in a very personal way and no two people will have identical reactions. Though some people choose to study music as a hobby or profession, we believe your opinion is just as important and valid as theirs.
   
Myth Serious concerts are only for the rich or well healed.
Reality Great music attracts people from all walks of life. True, Orchestra audiences are a discerning group who appreciate the best in music. The Waukesha Symphony Orchestra audience is open and welcoming to all.
