The Eastern Festival of Music brings its Only Mozart program to Dana Auditorium at Guilford College on Wednesday, July 1 at 7:30 PM ET — a summer evening dedicated entirely to one of classical music’s most beloved composers. It’s the kind of focused, single-composer programming that rewards both lifelong classical fans and curious first-timers.
This is a fully indoor concert, so once you’re through the doors, the weather is someone else’s problem. But the walk from the lot to the auditorium is a different story.
Getting There
Greensboro is sitting in a warm summer pattern, with temperatures near 87°F and a light northerly breeze of 1 to 6 mph. The evening will still feel warm when you step out of the car, so dress in something breathable for the commute in. Guilford College is in a residential part of west Greensboro — if you’re not familiar with the campus, budget a few extra minutes to locate the right parking lot and find Dana Auditorium. Plan to arrive by 7:00 PM ET to get settled before the 7:30 PM ET downbeat.
Check Guilford College’s website for current parking guidance, as lot assignments can shift by event.
Inside Dana Auditorium
Dana Auditorium is a classic college performance hall — intimate, with good acoustics. Like most air-conditioned venues, it tends to run cool. Tuck a light cardigan or jacket into your bag; you’ll likely want it by the second half of the program.
There are no products to push here — just good music and a comfortable seat.
Concert Etiquette (Worth a Quick Refresher)
If it’s been a while since your last classical concert, a couple of quick reminders: silence your phone before the performance starts, and hold your applause until the end of a complete piece — not between movements. Your fellow concertgoers will notice, and they’ll appreciate it.
Practical Tips
- Arrive by 7:00 PM ET — doors typically open 30 minutes before curtain
- Bags may be checked at the door; keep it simple
- No outside food or beverages are typically permitted inside the auditorium
- Light layer recommended — auditoriums air-condition aggressively in summer
The Eastern Festival of Music has a strong regional reputation for serious, well-performed programming. A Mozart-only evening at Dana Auditorium is a genuine summer highlight in Greensboro. Grab your tickets and enjoy the show.
