Th e Wor ks Your guided tour of the classics

Our new series of informal concerts continues.

Each event lasts 80 minutes, and features a full performance of the piece, as well an expert ‘guided tour’ of the music from the conductor and musicians. Plus there’s jazz in the bar, a Q&A, and a chance to meet musicians too. www.oae.co.uk/theworks

A selection of concerts also feature an informal post-concert Aftershow event with artists from the concert.

Free programmes are available at every concert, or can be downloaded from oae.co.uk/programmes —
