Learn to hear classical music like never before.
This series comes directly from Sarah’s passion for classical music. Across all periods and composers, she’s wildly enthusiastic about learning, performing, and teaching. Classical music is the one genre that ironically never gets old.
“Some of my most meaningful moments in my professional career have come from conversations with colleagues about what we hear in the music we perform and how it inspires us,” said Sarah. “Behind the Notes is my way of sharing that experience with you.”
Over four weeks, you’ll:
- Return to timeless works and hear them with fresh ears
- Share the kinds of conversations musicians have with each other backstage
- Listen more deeply, noticing the musical & thematic layers that enrich the experience
- The music you already love will come alive in new ways, and you’ll leave each session feeling enriched and engaged.
Come Be Moved
Behind the Notes is more than a learning experience. It’s a space to gather in community with other music lovers, to slow down, and to savor the art that’s meant so much to all of us. Whether you’re a lifelong listener or just discovering classical music, we’d love to welcome you.
