Contemporary Insights: Music and Conversation

Each Contemporary Insights event focuses on a single piece from the following Monday’s subscription concert.  Composers and musicians talk about the piece, and the musicians demonstrate parts of it.  After performing the work in its entirety, the musicians will elicit reactions, answer questions, and dialog with the audience. 

Share wine and hors d’oeuvres afterwards.
