A couple of questions
1. What does mean the expression "stand to"
So the Prommers, are quite literally the people who stand to listen to the concerts.
2. I don't understand the phrase "I might just give it a go". I suppose-"It is worth to go"
The phrase "you do get all those big...names" is not clear for me too. Does it mean "you lists all this names"?
That sounds like a proper gig. I think I might just give it a go, Finn. So,
you've been trying to persuade me that it's quite informal. But, at the same time you do get
all those big, fancy classical music names, don't you?

I disagree with the answer above.
1. Stand to means that a person or object is most likely to be affected by something. For example "My friend stands to benefit the most from this agreement"
2. To give something a go means to try something. For example "I've never hang glided before but I think I might give it a go". Note that this expression is mostly used in British or Australian English. In Canada or the U.S. we would say give it a shot or give it a try.
