Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Come listen to the Classical Open Mic Matinee, or email admin@auroraclassical.org to ask about playing..
What to expect
At the Classical Open Mic Matinee, performers play any classical piece with a pianist provided, and people can also come just to listen. The page does not say how long a slot lasts or how to book one, so email the group first.
Tips for your first visit
- Check the home page for the date and venue before you go.
- The open mic listed for Oct 17, 2026 is at the Philadelphia Ethical Society, 1906 Rittenhouse Square. Venues can change, so check the listing.

Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Concerts and the open mic are public. The home page says performers may play any classical piece and listeners are welcome, but it does not say beginners are welcome..
