• Concert Extras: Pre-Concert Talks

  • Some Carnegie Hall presentations this season begin with pre-concert talks that guide audiences through the music they are about to hear, providing an entertaining look at the repertoire and composers before the performance even begins.

    Featuring artists, Carnegie Hall staff, and leading musicologists and scholars, this wide-ranging series of talks offers something for everyone, from the experienced aficionado to the first-time concertgoer.

    Arrive one hour before the concert time for these talks which are free for all ticket holders.
