Abstract
Methods and systems for arranging audience members and musicians are described herein. An assembly of seats for an event location includes a plurality of musician seats and a plurality of audience seats. Each audience seat of the plurality of audience seats can be disposed in a particularly designated location on an event location surface relative to the plurality of musician seats such that each audience seat of the plurality of audience seats has an audience immersion score that is above a threshold minimal acceptable audience immersion score (MAAIS). The audience immersion score includes a musician adjacency component, a conductor position depth offset component, and a conductor position lateral offset component.

An assembly of seats for an event location, the assembly comprising:
- a plurality of musician seats;
- and
- a plurality of audience seats, each audience seat of the plurality of audience seats disposed in a particularly designated location on an event location surface relative to the plurality of musician seats such that each audience seat of the plurality of audience seats has an audience immersion score that is above a threshold minimal acceptable audience immersion score (MAAIS) and that includes a musician adjacency component, a conductor position depth offset component, and a conductor position lateral offset component,
- for each audience seat from the plurality of audience seats:
- the musician adjacency component having a direct musician adjacency subcomponent based, at least in part, on a number of musician seats directly adjacent to that audience seat and an indirect musician adjacency subcomponent based, at least in part, on a number of musician seats indirectly adjacent to that audience seat,
- the conductor position depth offset component based, at least in part, on a distance between a conductor position and that audience seat along a centerline of the assembly extending through the conductor position,
- the conductor position lateral offset component based, at least in part, on a lateral distance between the centerline and that audience seat.

An assembly of seats for an event location, the assembly comprising:
- a plurality of musician seats including:
- a first set of musician seats;
- a second set of musician seats;
- a third set of musician seats;
- and
- a fourth set of musician seats, each of the first set of musician seats, the second set of musician seats, the third set of musician seats, and the fourth set of musician seats including a line of musician seats extending radially away from a conductor position, and
- a plurality of audience seats including:
- a first set of audience seats disposed between the first set of musician seats and the second set of musician seats such that each seat from the first set of audience seats has an audience immersion score above a threshold minimal acceptable audience immersion score (MAAIS);
- a second set of audience seats disposed between the second set of musician seats and the third set of musician seats such that each seat from the second set of audience seats has an audience immersion score above the threshold MAAIS;
- and
- a third set of audience seats disposed between the third set of musician seats and the fourth set of musician seats such that each seat from the third set of audience seats has an audience immersion score above the threshold MAAIS.

A method of assembling seats for an event location, comprising:
- disposing a plurality of musician seats including a first set of musician seats, a second set of musician seats, a third set of musician seats, and a fourth set of musician seats on an event location surface such that each of the first set of musician seats, the second set of musician seats, the third set of musician seats, and the fourth set of musician seats includes a line of musician seats extending radially away from a conductor position;
- calculating an audience immersion score of a location on the event location surface, the audience immersion score including a musician adjacency component, a conductor position depth offset component, and a conductor position lateral offset component;
- determining whether the audience immersion score is above a threshold minimal acceptable audience immersion score (MAAIS);
- and
- in response to determining that the audience immersion score of the location is above the threshold MAAIS, disposing an audience chair at the location on the surface.
