Sophisticated Listening Nothing beats a live performance. CDs and radio are good entertainment, but they lack the exciting interplay between performer and audience, each stimulating the other. Live concerts are re-creations of masterworks, not re-runs. We are luckier than audiences of a century ago because we have been surrounded all our lives by music from phonographs, radio, movies, television - even Muzak - and our subconscious minds have developed a keen musical sophistication. We demand quality as readily as we reject banality.

Music Teachers: By all means, take advantage of these procedures on behalf of your students. Their edification and enjoyment of the concert depends on your giving them proper preparation. There is an added bonus to attending classical music performances. They are social events, and you meet some interesting people. Classical music enthusiasts always have a warm welcome for others of the same persuasion. Enjoy the concerts!
