Pre-Concert Conversations

Welcome to the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra's Pre-Concert Conversations for 2010.

Some of the leading conductors and soloists of our time come to Melbourne each year for concert appearances with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Before selected concerts throughout 2010, the MSO's Director of Artistic Planning, Huw Humphreys interviews these superb musicians about their philosophy of music-making and these works they're performing with the MSO.
