INSIDE MUSIC
Free Pre-Concert Talks
Join us at Davies Symphony Hall one hour before select SF Symphony concerts for a free pre-concert talk! Inside Music talks are designed to enhance your enjoyment of the concert by providing insights into the works on the program—bringing you “inside” the music.
The music experts who give these talks bring different viewpoints and approaches to their conversations about the music. Some might explore why a composer wrote a particular piece of music, examining its social and historical context. Others might look at how a piece of music is constructed, guiding listeners through recorded excerpts of the works being performed.

THE PRELUDE SERIES: A Casual pre-Concert Discussion
For a select number of concerts each month, join us 45 minutes before the performance to take part in a free pre-concert discussion hosted in a casual, intimate lounge setting on the First Tier Lobby of Davies Symphony Hall. These events foster a lively exchange of ideas and are sure to illuminate your concert experience. Feel free to come with a drink or a bite to eat from our café, The Tuning Fork.
