With good preparation, a concert is twice as much fun. Whether a lecture or a round of talks, our introductions with expert speakers and moderators will prepare you for the programme in a knowledgeable, informative, and entertaining way. What is special about tonight’s music? Why does it move us? What should I pay attention to when I listen?
