Pre-Concert Talks are given before each Masterworks Gold and Masterworks Diamond performance, at 7:05pm in the Orpheum auditorium. Seating for the talks is general admission in right centre and left centre in floor level seating.

Each talk is given by VSO musicians, and focuses on both the musician's instrument and role in the orchestra, and that evening's concert repertoire and composers. The Pre-Concert Talks are a great way to get to know your orchestra a little better, and get some insight into the evening's concert from the perspective of a musician in the orchestra itself.
