  Classical Conversations  
     
 

Get inside the minds of composers and to the heart of the music with Classical Conversations, which start one hour before every Friday and Saturday CSO concert (Classical Conversations do not take place on Dinner & Concert Thursdays due to the Pre-Concert Dinner Buffet schedule, or Sundays Pathways concerts which feature a post-concert conversation with Paavo and musicians.) These informative, casual discussions are led by CSO conductors and musicians, guest artists and members of musical community.

No reservations are required, and the conversations are free to all ticketholders. Unless noted, Classical Conversations are held in the Music Hall Auditorium.
