Scottish Chamber Orchestra
Mobile Phone Policy

To ensure an enjoyable and distraction-free concert experience for all, we kindly ask our audience to adhere to the following mobile phone guidelines:

  • We ask that mobile phones are not to be used during performances.
  • Mobile phones may be used to view programme notes if this does not disturb other audience members, however, we recommend this is done before or after the performance.
  • When reading programme notes, please keep screen brightness low and ensure all sounds, including notifications and ringtones, are switched off to avoid disturbing others.
  • This helps maintain an immersive atmosphere for both audience members and musicians.
