Abstract
This document is a basic guide for preparing and programming a concert. It contains five chapters, each of which covers one aspect to consider while going through the process of concert preparation. Some key points are an analysis of the Audience, an analysis of the Ensemble and the selection process of music. It also contains steps of putting together a viable order to a concert. The last two chapters give insight on different approaches to concert programming and some of the aspects of concert programming that does not deal primarily with the music and therefore is often found lacking in the average conductor. This document uses several different methods used by many accomplished music directors, pointing out key differences in theories and approaches. The impact of these varied approaches is pointed out and emphasized.
