For a number of years my parents attended the Fargo-Moorhead Symphony Orchestra productions here at Festival Hall. Before purchasing season tickets my dad visited and tried out a number of seats, think Sheldon Cooper in a movie theater. Dad chose a pair of seats on the main floor, near the front and audience left. When ask why, dad told me it would be a good view of pianists playing the piano when was on stage.
Festival Hall is used for non-musical events as well. I attended a presentation with Jane Elliott of "Blue eyes/Brown eyes" fame here a a few theatre productions for local schools.
