PRE-CONCERT CONVERSATIONS

Sundays and Tuesdays, one hour prior to the performance

In these fun and informative discussions, Maestro Neale illuminates the historical and compositional significance of the works performed and points out key melodic themes that you will recognize as you listen during the performance. In just one hour, Mr. Neale turns even the loftiest piece of classical music into an easily recognizable friend.

6:30pm - Free admission
