Pre-Concert Chats
Pre-Concert Chats are a great way to learn more about the conductor and their programming. Beginning at 6:30 pm, enjoy a relaxed chat about the concert program and learn insights into the stories behind each piece, fun facts about the composers, what to listen for during the concert, and how the conductor brings it all to life during the performance! These chats are free to attend for all ticket holders.
