The RSO is taking its popular Rush Hour concerts on the road to Hardywood Park Craft Brewery. These one-hour informal concerts feature fantastic orchestral and chamber music and discussion in the Hardywood tasting room. Grab a beer, hit the food trucks and enjoy a great concert at 6:30 on a Thursday.

What to expect:

Seating — The cover charge grants you access to Hardywood’s space. There is a small number of chairs and plenty of standing room available in the barrel room where the orchestra sets up. If being seated is a high priority for you, please arrive early to secure a seat (doors open at 5pm). There is additional seating in the adjacent rooms; the doors between the spaces are left open to allow the music to be heard throughout the space and the sound is reinforced with speakers.

Food — Thursday is Food Truck night at Hardywood. The number of food trucks varies from one to eight, depending on the season. Please note we can’t guarantee vegan/vegetarian or GF/DF options. You always have the option to bring in food from outside restaurants or from home to suit your needs.

Atmosphere – Please note that you are enjoying the orchestra in a bar atmosphere. Feel free to move in and out of the space, eat and drink, or snap a photo (NO FLASH OR CLICK PLEASE). Like any bar, there will be conversation as well. If you are looking for a more traditional concert experience, we encourage you to check out the Classics section of our website or our Casual Fridays series.
