Programme Notes

A great way to prepare for our concerts is to read the concert programme notes ahead of time on our website. A couple of weeks before each concert, check back here to find the latest programme notes. Our notes are written by musicologists with you, the concert-goer in mind. They contain interesting details about the composer’s life and background information about the specific pieces to be performed. They contain fascinating details that you won’t find anywhere else—reading them once won’t be enough!
