John William Trotter - Pre-concert Presentations

Conductor

Pre-concert Presentations

A gifted communicator and advocate for the arts, Mr. Trotter has presented pre-concert talks and demonstrations in Canada, the United States and Asia in connection with choral, orchestral, operatic, and new music performances.

Constantly in search of innovative ways to reach new audiences and engage their fullest participation, his approaches have ranged from addressing full houses from the stage, to giving pre-concert talks in the lobby, to speaking in a luxury train piano lounge as audience members travelled to a concert! His approach is characterized by passion for the repertoire, a welcoming attitude toward the audience, and a dose of good humor. He frequently plays musical examples live on the piano and encourages audience participation in demonstrations.

Producers and audience members are saying:

“ First-rate in every dimension. You display a remarkable blend of thoughtful scholarship and folksy, almost improvisatory chat that connects very well with the lay audience member and faculty member alike. ”

“ Pithy and informative! ”

“ When do you next talk? I want to come! ”
