Pre-concert talks

You can fully enjoy the music without any prior knowledge of the concert program’s styles, history, or guest artists. However, a small dive into the origins and characteristics of the pieces can often deepen the concert experience.

The Pre-concert talks events are offered in connection with our symphony concerts listed in the Season ticket series. Interviewees at the events can be the conductor of the concert, the soloist or even both. Sometimes there are also musicians from the Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra.

Pre-concert talk events of the Autumn 2025 season:

Thu 4.9. Season opening: Ode to Joy
Fri 12.9. Verses of the Heart

The Pre-concert talks usually starts at 6 pm and they last about half an hour. The event is free to enter and are held in the Tampere Hall.

At every concert our public can also get a hand programme to familiarize with all the information about the music, guests and artists that will perform the concert on that night before the event starts.
