Our Musical Discovery Series talks just keep growing in popularity - come early to a Classical Series Concert and see what the excitement is all about! Dr. Charles Youmans, Assistant Professor of Music History at Penn State, is your trusty guide to learning more about the pieces being performed at every Classical Series Concert. In plain language we can all understand, Dr. Chuck brings the composers and music to life, making the concert experience much more enjoyable for all concertgoers! Musical Discovery Series talks will be held prior to all Classical Series Concerts and are free to all ASO patrons who hold a ticket for that evening's performance.
