    Bringing insights for newcomers and the seasoned concertgoer, Creative Director Gerard McBurney narrates a live visual documentary of the selected score--its context in history, how it fits into the composer’s output of works and the details of the composer’s life that influenced its creation. Musical examples by the Orchestra illustrate the structure of each composition. After intermission, return with newly discovered knowledge to hear a performance of the score played in its entirety by The Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Charles Dutoit. Each concert is followed by a meet and mingle with Orchestra musicians.
