Department of Music Associate Professor Richard
Will leads our insightful Pre-Concert Lecture
series. Professor Will is author of The Characteristic
Symphony in the Age of Haydn and Beethoven and
of articles and reviews on 18th- and early 19th-century
music. The popular professor is also interested
in 20th-century American popular music, especially
country music and bluegrass, and hosts a bluegrass
jam session for UVA graduates and undergraduates.
He has received fellowships from the American
Philosophical Society, the German Academic Exchange
Service, and the American Musicological Society.
In
addition to the popular pre-concert lectures,
the Symphony invites you to attend Noon
Notes, a brown-bag music lecture series held Fridays at noon before each subscription concert weekend.
Noon Notes takes place at the
Northside Branch of the Jefferson-Madison Regional
Library, located at 300 Albemarle Square in Charlottesville.
This lunchtime series is led by Music Director
Kate Tamarkin and offers insights about the composers and orchestral works featured in the program. There is no charge and complimentary beverages
and nearby parking are provided.
