Preview Conversations begin at 6:45 PM before each Masterworks series performance.

Jody Knol blends insightful information about the featured composers, music, and guest artists. Preview Conversations give you a chance to hear selected passages of music, learn some of the histories of the music, and listen to the artists performing. PreViews are an excellent opportunity to feel more connected to the evening’s program and the musicians performing it.
