Illustrated, Illuminating Talks on Music

Of all the music bought, downloaded and streamed in 2018 in the USA, Classical Music made up only 1% of the total market. This means that there are huge numbers of people who have yet to discover just how amazing classical music is and we obviously have a lot of work to do to get the word out.

To that end we are setting out to try and entice the curious into our wonderful world of music with a series of illustrated talks. Each talk will last an hour, often beginning and ending with a brief live performance, and will explore the language of music, how it affects us and why it is so important.

During the 2020-21 Season our talks will feature interviews with the performers and living composers, behind the scenes footage from rehearsals and planning, and explorations of the pieces included in our main Synagogue series. All talks will be Live-Streamed and limited in-person attendance will resume as appropriate in collaboration with our friends at the UCC.
