Continuing Education
Prelude talks
Lively and informative talks are offered in Stieren Orchestra Hall twice before most performances. The first talk is given two hours before the performance and the second is one hour before. Prelude Talks are free to ticket holders. For best availability, we suggest the first talk. Prelude Talks are not offered Opening Weekend or on Apprentice Scenes performance evenings.
