The audience seats in this photo along with some of the ones between the pillars above would be filled with members of the community who came to sing, we were seated by vocal part. The orchestra and organ would accompany from where you see the orchestra in this photo. When we performed certain solos the whole section of tenors (or whatever) would stand.
My first year attending I was stunned when I heard the amazing trumpet soloist in the very live acoustics of this historic performance space. I had never heard anything so beautiful. I would count it as my first aesthetic experience. My deep appreciation of live performances began.
