At 7:30 before each concert!
Would you like some insight into the great compositions performed by Masterworks Chorale?
Then please join dynamic conductor Jamie Kirsch, Director of Choral Activities at Tufts University, one half hour before each concert to get a music insider’s perspective on the evening’s program. Dr. Kirsch will offer historical insights, listening tips, and a context for the music being performed, all delivered with the wit and passion of a certified lifetime choral music fanatic.
Jamie’s perspective will inform and enhance your appreciation of Masterworks Chorale's performance whether you have spent ten years in concert halls or just ten minutes. And with Jamie’s personable, common sense speaking style, what may have seemed simply beautiful will now also seem simply understandable as well.
