Music Appreciation Grp1*
Due to further health complications we have had to defer the restart until January 2022. Both original and prospective members please contact John Perkin by E-Mail johnbperkin@yahoo.co.uk over the next three months.
The music we offer at the Group 1 meetings covers a wide choice of various genre, ranging from classical to music from the musicals, jazz to contemporary. All these may be performed by orchestra, band or solo instruments.
Group 1 is very fortunate to have within its membership people who are musically knowledgeable or very knowledgeable and also who have different musical tastes.
The majority of us played an instrument (usually the piano) when young, so have a basic knowledge of notation etc, but, as we no longer perform we enjoy listening and commenting on the music which is on offer.
As a group we have used a number of systems to allow members to contribute to an overall programme, such as alphabetical, composers’ names or a composer’s country. We use other methods of identifying the programme’s style for the year but at present, each member offers a piece of music which they personally like and enjoy.
We are a ‘nice’ lot of people in the group and welcome any u3a members who would consider giving us try. So if you like any sort of music, please come and listen to our offerings one Friday afternoon (usually the 3rd Friday each month). Please contact johnbperkin@yahoo.co.uk for further updates.
