Be very careful you are not wearing a "costume". As in Ogden, symphonies in Vancouver are attended by folk wearing all manner of daily attire. I wear a jacket and tie (never a PC): sometimes a business-weight black Argyle or a kilt-altered black or blue blazer and tie. Always a tie with a jacket.
At matinees I wear a dark tweed jacket.
If the majority of attendees in Ogden wear pretty casual clothing, I suggest you dress similarly: a shirt (and tie?) topped by a light, stylish "sweater" matching a base or over-stripe in your kilt. Definitely wear a leather sporran to match your belt (if you choose to wear one) and your shoes.
For shoes, wear black brogues (not ghillies) or polished slip-ons.
Smashing! but blending in, too.

I would say if you wear a kilt at all - you'd immediately stand out. I was semi-formally kilted at a recent Irish Tenors concert - and everybody was dressed in all sorts of garments (dressy, casual, rugged).
So, wear what you'll be most comfortable and confident in. Vest - yes!
And enjoy the concert!

Tank it will be. There are quite a few people that wear if not black tie, just under. The kilt may stand out, but it wont really be "overdressed" either.
Concert is Ode to Joy, my favorite piece.
Thanks all
Eric
