??? My First Classical Concert,What Can I Expect ???

Awesome you’re trying something new! A few things I’d recommend- check with the orchestra and see if they do pre-concert lectures. Most larger orchestras do these. A good chunk of these will play motifs and excerpts so you have some context when you hear the whole piece. That can be great if you’re new as you’ll then be able to pick out the important parts and then hear how melodies get thrown around and transformed across a piece.

Pick one instrument / person in your sight line and adopt them for the performance. This is great for critical listening, particularly if you’re not familiar with the instrument. Why is that good? You’ll generally find it’s like developing a new muscle- when you go home you’ll be able to pick and isolate that instrument on classical recordings when you get home. Then if you go back to another concert you can adopt another instrument and build more musical muscles.

Those are some quick tips. As a musical omnivore myself no musical genre is boring- it’s just a matter of learning to speak a new dialect and learning what each brings to the table, and ends up giving you a new experience to enrich your home genre.

I too went from rock concerts to classical.  Bach's Brandenbergs are a great place to start.  Forget critical listening and just let the music take over.  One bit of advice, if you're not familiar with classical concert etiquette--each of the concertos consists of three movements; most classical audiences do not applaud until the end of the whole piece, not after each movement.

Also, +1 to d-o-tampa.

You will experience real sound stage. 
Hope you have good seats.

" As a musical omnivore myself..."

Terrific description!

I disagree it’s most of what is written above.  So you won’t see anyone lighting their  violins on fire or being lifted by a cable over the audience.

  The Brandenburg Concertos feature a lot of instrumental effects.  For example the Sixth omits violins and uses low strings only.  The Second features a very high-piccolo- trumpet that Paul McCartney liked so much when he heard it he adopted it for Penny Lane.  The Fifth is basically a harpsichord concerto in the first movement, that ends with a crazy cadenza (solo) where Bach was foreshadowing the Piano Virtuosos 150 years in the future.  The second movement is basically a chamber outing between the flute, keyboard and violin where the 3 lines weave in and out as only Bach could do so seamlessly.

  Every concerto has something special.

  Listen to the music at least twice before the concert so that it has something special familiarity.  Then when you are there are how different choirs of instruments produce the sounds .
