This is a very good idea. Much more informative and engaging than programme notes. The digital element also makes it more democratic. Lots of people (like me) don't run to programmes anyway. good to have some samples as well as the chat, but the chat is the really engaging idea. I went to Oedipus at 16, and have never listened to it since (40 years), but even I felt quite warm towards it by the end of the chat.
The audience seldom gets the human contact of hearing the players speak.
