Pre-Concert Talks
Before each live concert, we will present a lively and engaging discussion on the concert that will follow. You are welcome to engage in dialogue with the conductor and ask questions. The format is informal and is a wonderful opportunity to get to know Salem Phil.
Pre-concert talks begin 45 minutes before each concert in the auditorium.
Please join us for these FREE, engaging exchanges before each concert!
