The Charlottesville & University Symphony Orchestra presents a pre-concert lecture with Richard Will on Friday, 10/1 at 7:15pm in Minor Hall Auditorium.

The popular Symphony pre-concert lectures serve to enlighten and prepare symphony audiences for the concert they are about to experience. These free lectures begin 45 minutes prior to each performance.

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.
