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 2026 season:

Fri 11 Sep, Sibelius 5
Fri 18 Sep, French Romanticism
Fri 25 Sep, The Firebird
Fri 9 Oct, Zarathustra
Fri 30 Oct, The Touch of Beauty
Fri 6 Nov, In the Eye of the Storm
Thu 12 Nov, Water Music

Fri 18 Dec, Santtu-Matias Rouvali & Alena Baeva

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.
