Symphony on Tap
A Fresh Take on Saturday Night
Yaniv Dinur, conductor and emcee
Take a night off from the usual. Step into an immersive, come-as-you-are music experience where you’re not just watching—you’re part of it. Sip a beer, grab a bite, and feel the music unfold just a few feet away—close enough to touch, impossible to ignore.
Perfect for those new to classical music or curious to try a different kind of entertainment! No dress code, no experience needed—just show up and let the sound surround you.
Here’s what’s on tap:
- 60-member orchestra in a nightclub setting, 8–9 PM
- Mingle with Yaniv and the musicians before and after
- Craft beer & full cash bar, plus grab-and-go bites all night
- Fun games with prizes after the music
- Casual high tops for standing near the orchestra
- Or reserved tables of 10 for seating
No stage, no rules, just fun!
Reserved tables are the only option that include seating. All other areas are standing room only, with high-top tables available for sharing. If you’d like a break from standing, the lobby just outside the hall offers comfortable seating, within earshot of the music.
Prefer a traditional classical concert where every ticket includes a seat? Join us for Music of Renewal on Sunday, October 19! (Hint: The program will be mostly the same.)
Doors open at 6:30 PM, bars and food station open 6:30 – 9:30 PM

Lustrous baritone Philip Lima joins NBSO core musicians in an eclectic potpourri ranging from Ralph Vaughan Williams’s Songs of Travel and Samuel Barber’s Dover Beach to the earthy songs of Charles Ives and three spirituals. A piano quartet by Portuguese master Joly Braga Santos and The Toreador’s Prayer by Joaquín Turina offer interludes of instrumental poetry and brilliance.
