Words on Music Susan Wingrove, ASO Education Consultant, presents a pre-concert lecture "Words on Music" on the night of performance. The discussions focus on composers, repertoire and musical themes. Audience size ranges from 80 to 200 for these discussions and the lecture/discussion is interpreted in American Sign Language. "Words on Music" is presented in the Concert Hall one hour prior to each Classic Concert performance.

Lunch and Learn Maestro Fleischer or special guests lead "Lunch and Learn," an informal discussion during the noon hour on the Friday prior to each Classic Concert. These sessions are co-sponsored by the Anchorage Municipal Libraries and are held at the Loussac Library. Participants gather to hear the fascinating stories behind the music and have the opportunity to preview books on composers and classical music recordings available at their local libraries.
