Pre Concert Talks
These popular and informal 15-minute talks have become an important part of the concert-going experience for many people. Given by conductors, composers, soloists and guest speakers, they begin promptly at 7pm in the Waterfront Hall and Whitla Hall at Queen's University.
The talks offer insights into the music you are about to hear or open up new perspectives into the views and interpretations of soloists and conductors.
Pre-concert talks are free to concert ticket-holders and you may sit wherever you like in the hall for the duration of the talk.
