Pre-Concert Talks
At 6:30 p.m. before classical concerts, please join us in Macky Auditorium for informative insights on the evening's program with a variety of speakers such as author Don Campbell, Music Director Michael Butterman, and our guest artists. These events are FREE for ticket-holders. We suggest you arrive a little before 6:30 p.m. to find seating. However, we do not close the doors for these events, so if you arrive once the talk has started we invite you simply to find a place quietly.
SuperListening™ Club
In addition to the Pre-Concert Talks, Don Campbell hosts FREE, two-hour SuperListening Club sessions that will deepen your knowledge of how music affects your health, your memory and your creativity. The SuperListening Club meets Saturday mornings from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. on September 17, 2011 and January 14, 2012 in room 102 at Macky Auditorium.
For more details or to be added to the notification list for these events, please contact Don at Mozartef@aol.com.
