INSTRUMENTALLY SPEAKING

Get the whole picture with Instrumentally Speaking, the WSO’s pre-concert talks.

These interesting and informative talks are held an hour before the start of each BMO Financial Group Masterworks concert inside the Chrysler Theatre, and 35 minutes prior to the evening performance of each Southland Insurance Intimate Classics concert at Assumption University’s Freed-Orman Centre.

Maestro Russell has made arrangements with guest artists, conductors, composers and music specialists to offer their insights in an informal and informative way. Questions are welcome!
