What are Deep Dives? They are in-depth essays about the history and context of the music we play: the social, political, technological and musical background that helps illuminate the notes on the page. Written by global music scholars, they appear along with the program notes in every concert program booklet. They’re perfect for broadening your understanding and appreciation of Classical and Romantic music, and the stories behind the composers, instruments and pieces.
