PREVIOUS UPDATES
14 Feb, 2001: ORCHESTRA DRESS CODE for MEN
BLACK TIE is the standard of dress for men at performances of the JCC Symphony Orchestra. Men should wear either 1) a tuxedo with white dress shirt and formal black bow tie, or 2) customary black suit with regular white shirt and black bow tie. For members who do not own a tuxedo and do not wish to purchase one, the simplest option is 2), i.e., replace the long tie with an inexpensive black bow tie. At a distance the effect will be the same, allowing the Orchestra to present a more uniform appearance.
