Grand Concerts
The Grand Concerts offer both the experienced concertgoer and the curious novice a rich and varied choice of programs featuring carefully chosen international soloists, renowned conductors and an array of compositions that audiences adore. While you tune in to some of the greatest names in music, let yourself fall in love with the piano and be swept away by the violin or the human voice. This is where it’s happening!
 
The concerts in this series are offered in three flexible and practical subscription formulas: the complete series of 12 concerts, and each of the two half-series of six concerts each. Every concert is given on a Tuesday and repeated on Wednesday.
