A note about the Music Appreciation SIG:
I did a quick count of playlists, and today was the 62nd such, and in the four-or-so years we have covered a broad history of music, a simple look at common musical forms, music from the Americas, from France, England and Scandinavia. We have looked at many individual composers - Stravinsky, Mendelssohn, Sibelius, Robert Simpson, Debussy to name a few - and had many miscellany sessions led by group members.
Recently a number of our members have left the Island, and so we have 4 or 5 places available for new members in the next season. This is on hold at the moment due to Paul's recent injury. We meet in Ballaugh Curraghs, 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month at 2.00pm. You don’t need any specialised knowledge of music: just an interest in listening to, learning about and enjoying a wide range of of music. A serious commitment to tea, coffee and cake is another strong recommendation!
If you are interested, drop me a line at dunders@mcb.net or ring 494089.
