[en-sahyn] The final part "sign" is NOT pronounced "sen" but instead as the actual word "sign". Listen here. We hope as we pursue our mission we will be an "Ensign" to the people of the greater Puget Sound region of quality wholesome music that strengthens and uplifts our audiences.

There is not one specific style of music that we choose from. We have performed classical pieces by Mendelssohn, Mozart, Vivaldi and many other composers. Other music includes traditional American hymns and folk songs as well as traditional pieces from other nations. We often perform music by Mack Wilberg and other composers from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and other contemporary artists. We have performed music from films, and special arrangements of classical and pop music with our guest artists. Each concert is a beautiful mixture of many styles of music all with the purpose of uplifting and inspiring our audience.

Formal attire – such as tuxedos and formal gowns – are not common at our concerts. Many concert goers wear business or dressy attire. Jeans, however, or a more casual attire are not frowned upon.

The concert hall opens 30 minutes prior to the concert. Guests are encouraged to be seated 15 minutes prior to start times.

Infants and children regularly attend our concerts. We ask that they be quickly removed from the hall if they become disruptive. Entry requires a valid ticket for all individuals, including children who might otherwise not occupy a seat. A video monitor in the Samuel & Althea Stroum Grand Lobby allows patrons to hear and see the action on stage.

Large bags, backpacks and knapsacks are not allowed in the auditorium. These items may be left at the complimentary coat check located in The Boeing Company Gallery.

There are a variety of dining options at Benaroya Hall. Learn more about your options here.

Most performances run about two hours, including one 20-minute intermission.

Photography is permitted during concerts (unless otherwise requested) – please refrain from using flash photography as it is distracting to performers. If you post images on social media please use #seattleensign. Video and Audio recordings in Benaroya Hall or of Ensign Symphony & Chorus are not allowed.

Ticketholders who arrive after the concert begins will be seated in the auditorium only during appropriate pauses in the music. A video monitor in the Samuel & Althea Stroum Grand Lobby allows late patrons to hear and see the action on stage while waiting for late seating opportunities.
