3pm: Optional pre-performance conversation

What really goes through the minds, hearts and bodies of performing musicians on stage? How can we look after our physical and mental wellbeing in challenging times? How can we all experience music more deeply and communally? How can the way we listen shape our experiences? Join our panelists as they explore these topics and more, and invite you to ask your own questions.
