Pre-Concert Talks
At 6:30 p.m. before classical concerts, please join us in Macky Auditorium for informative insights on the evening's program with guest speakers such as author Don Campbell and Music Director Michael Butterman. These events are FREE for ticket-holders. We suggest you arrive slightly before 6:30 p.m. to find seating, however we do not close the doors for these events and so if you arrive once the talk has started we invite you simply to find a place quietly.

SuperListening™ Club
In addition to the Pre-Concert Talks, Don Campbell hosts FREE, two-hour SuperListening Club sessions that will deepen your knowledge of how music affects your health, your memory and your creativity. The SuperListening Club meets from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. on the Saturday morning of each concert.
