Pre-concert insight videos for each of the concerts are available to watch online too. They are an interesting and informative way to help understand the music before you enjoy the concert itself. You will also be able to download a free pdf concert programme.
A digital subscription is great value. It allows us to enjoy more than twice the number of concerts than if we attended the Great Hall for live performances. Being able to access each concert for a month has allowed us never to miss a concert; catching up can be done whenever is convenient."
