Pre-Concert Talks

Pre-Concert Talks are held in the auditorium from 7:00 to 7:30 PM before every MainStage concert. Conductors, composers, and guest artists speak about that evening’s repertoire, and go behind the scenes of their preparatory process.

For 2024-25, the A2SO’s pre-concert talks are presented by Exchange Capital Management, a fee-only Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) established in 1989. Learn more at www.exchangecapital.com.
