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,
this season the symphony begins presenting Noon
Notes, a brown-bag music lecture series.
Noon Notes will be Fridays at noon at the
Northside Branch of the Jefferson-Madison Regional
Library before each subscription concert weekend.
This lunchtime series will be led by Music Director
Kate Tamarkin and will feature guest artists and
a new insightful view of the orchestra. This free
brown-bag series offers complimentary beverages
and parking in the Albemarle Square Shopping Center.
