PRELUDE DISCUSSION SERIES
The More You Know, the Better it Gets!
Tune up for the concerts with the help of our Prelude Discussion Series. Step into the hushed and intimate atmosphere of Overture Hall with just a hand full of other music lovers for a conversation with the maestro, or the guest conductor, or even, or rare occasions, the composer!
One Hour Before the Concert
If you have a ticket to the concert, you have a ticket to the Prelude Discussion. Each discussion begins one hour before the concert, and they usually last about 30 minutes, so you'll still have plenty of time to chat or have a cocktail before the concert starts! There are prelude discussions for all concerts except the Christmas Spectacular.
