Beyond the Score®
Watch new full-length streaming videos:
Learn More. Hear More.
Experience more.
Designed not only for classical music aficionados, but also
for newcomers looking to delve deeper into the world
of classical music, the first half of each Beyond the Score®
program offers a multimedia examination of the selected
score-its context in history, how it fits into the composer's
output of works, the details of a composer's life that
influenced its creation-sharing the illuminating stories
found "inside" the music.
"Seldom has enlightenment proved so entertaining."
— Chicago Tribune
Written and created by the
CSO's creative director, Gerard McBurney, live musical
examples are called upon to illustrate the structure of each
composition. After an intermission, concertgoers return
to the hall with newly discovered knowledge to hear a
performance of the work played in its entirety.
