What to expect
Planning a visit to Ordway Concert Hall
Choose Ordway Concert Hall for an SPCO program, recital, or acoustic ensemble concert rather than a production in the complex's larger Music Theater. Confirm that the event names the Concert Hall, then review the entrance, seating section, run time, accessibility arrangements, parking plan, and current ticket terms before arrival.
