Hi-Notes

Hi-Notes is a pre-concert discussion about that evening's music. We use music examples and a helpful power-point. Since it is meant to help listeners know what to listen for, this is not a boring, technical discussion requiring "expert" knowledge. We mean to inform our audience, so that they not only appreciate the music more, but connect with it -- at an emotional level. We want our audience to enjoy this great music! So not only do we talk about how to listen to the music, we also bring in cultural connections whenever possible. For instance, what does Looney Tunes, Woody Woodpecker and The Barber of Seville have in common? Come and see!

We begin at 6:45 in the Holbrook balcony, and are finished by 7:10. No reservations required; just come up the steps or the elevator and join us!
