Question

At a classical concert, how is the list of the pieces that are going to be performed called?

 

In Bulgarian, this is called "programme". And you can say "I did not learn this fact from the programme" meaning that you have not read this on the leaflet that, besides a list of pieces, supplies additional information about the composers, performers etc.

 

 

Answer 1

The list of pieces to be performed at a classical concert is called the program or program booklet. This document, which audiences often receive at the door, lists the compositions in the order they will be performed, along with their composers, and sometimes includes program notes with additional information. 

Answer 2

The list of pieces selected for performance in a classical concert is called a program. The program typically lists the title of the work(s) and composer. If the composition has several sections such as a piano piece, the selection will be subdivided into movements. An example would be the title, opus number, then the sections, such as Allegro, Andante, and Presto which indicate the tempos of each section that the composer has labeled. Audience members should wait until all the sections of the piece has been performed before applauding at the end of a composition.

Answer 3

The pieces in a concert are referred to as “the program”. The program showcases a portion of the performer’s repertoire.

Answer 4

Yes, normally the list of pieces is called a "Program." This is normally the name in classical music performances. If you go to a rock concert or festival, they don't have one (yet they do have a "line up" for the bands playing that day).
"Program Notes" are normally the notes referring to the pieces of the "Program." These notes can be about the composer's life, the history of the piece, or the debut of the piece.
On a side note, I have actually been in Bulgaria (Sofia, Plovdiv, and Russe) and know several Bulgarian friends here in the US. They are amazing folks.
Thanks for your questions!

Answer 5

It's called a "program" in US English as well.  From the Merriam-Webster on-line dictionary:

 

Program:

2 a : a brief usually printed outline of the order to be followed, of the features to be presented, and the persons participating (as in a public performance)
