Most National Philharmonic concerts are preceded by free lectures. Led by National Philharmonic Associate Conductor Victoria Gau, the lectures take patrons through the history and theory behind the music; the talks are free of charge and conveniently located at the Music Center.

NEW:  To accomodate increasing demand, the free pre-concert lectures are moving to a new location and are starting 15 minutes earlier.

Saturday lectures start at 6:45 pm
Sunday lectures start at 1:45 pm                                               Located now in the concert hall on the Promenade Level
