| Arrive early for "Music Notes"
The popular and informal 'Music Notes' lectures are held before the beginning of most concerts, inside the California Theatre's hall . Many are led by Symphony violist Janet Sims, sometimes joined by other musicians; others by the upcoming concert's conductor. The talks focus on the upcoming music, as well as on the experience of the players themselves, or the conductor's approach to the works about to be played.
These entertaining lecture/conversations strengthen the links between the Symphony and our listeners, who find that getting to know some of the performers adds greatly to the interest of the concert experience.
Cost:
Free with your concert ticket.
Where:
In the California Theatre concert hall. Ushers will direct you.
When:
55 minutes before the beginning of each concert; for example:
- 6:35 PM before an 7:30 PM concert
- 7:05 PM before an 8:00 PM concert

Plus:
In 2008-09, between the end of 'Music Notes' and the beginning of the concert, listeners will often be able to enjoy music played on the Theatre's second Wurlitzer organ, newly completed and located in the Theatre's grand First Street Lobby.

Music Notes lasts about 25 minutes.
