A Note Before Each Concert

The Maestro’s Listening Guide

Before each of our full-length programs, Music Director Dr. Kevin P. Bartram writes a personal preview of one work on the concert — the piece he most wants you to hear with new ears. What he hears in the music, why he chose it, and what to listen for on the night.

No musical background required, and no homework. Read one before you come, or read it after. There are five this season.
