Pre-Concert Talk

Dive into the world of symphonic music by attending a Pre-Concert Talk.

These free events, held before select concerts, feature guest speakers or creatives (i.e., soloists, conductors and NZSO musicians) discussing the process of bringing a performance to life. Learn about the inspiration and work behind the scenes that goes on to put a concert on stage. 

Free 30-minute event with no booking required – simply arrive early on the night.
