Admission is free.
Murl Sickbert, Jr., Hardin-Simmons University music librarian and frequent contributor of music history and expertise to the Abilene Philharmonic, will lead the conversation. Sickbert is a music historian and researcher who prepares detailed program notes for each philharmonic concert, offering history and commentary on the composers and their music. He also hosts an informal discussion of each concert shortly before the music begins at the Abilene Civic Center. But Sickbert also will discuss more general aspects of music, such as musical terms or styles. He also may take questions about other genres of music.
