The grand preconcert talks
Before certain concerts, the OSM will present talks with various conductors, artists and personalities that will enhance your knowledge of the works on the program. Covering such topics as creativity and innovation, modern works, or European Classicism, these Grand Preconcert Talks are a fine way to enrich your concert experience!
Each talk will take place one hour before the concert.
