Miller Theatre Commissioned Program Notes
To enhance the concert-going experience and educate audiences, Miller Theatre commissions program notes tailored specially for its one-of-a-kind concerts and events. Renowned professional writer and music critic Paul Griffiths, other scholars, and artists write notes for each of this season's event; these notes are available on the specific event pages as well as below approximately two weeks prior to the concert.
