HomeEducation & CommunityCommunity Programs and EventsPublic Talks & Performances

Throughout the year, HPO musicians perform throughout the city of Hamilton and beyond, reaching community members in accessible settings so that live orchestral music can be enjoyed by all! We partner with businesses to perform concerts at their events, and we hit the big stages during Hamilton’s summer music festivals.

We also present talks and panel discussions in the community. This includes music history and appreciation talks, as well as topics related to connections between music and one’s mental and physical health. Composer-in-Residence Abigail Richardson-Schulte and HPO musicians have frequently offered talks and presentations in partnership with organizations throughout the region.

Interested in coordinating a community talk with your organization or institution, or booking our musicians for a performance? Contact mnourse@hpo.org
