Do I need to prepare anything in advance?

What does the chant "Bravo!" often heard at concerts mean?

It's an Italian word meaning "wonderful." If you heard the performance and thought it was wonderful or moving, please say "Bravo" out loud when everyone is clapping. The conductor and players on stage are very happy.
