Discovering Music
This page was last updated on 25 March
When all of this is over we hope to reschedule our presentations. Keep safe everyone. John
We meet at Barton Court (off Barton Street, almost opposite Morrisons Superstore) on the first and third Wednesday in the month at 9:40 for 10:00 – 12:00
Entrance fee £1.00
Refreshments are served from about 9.40 to 9.50 with our programmes running from 10.00 - 12.00 with a short break halfway through.
We continue to present and discuss high quality recordings on good equipment in comfortable surroundings.
Our presentations are mainly of classical music recordings with regular forays into other genres.
We aim to please a wide range of musical taste and to discover lesser-known composers and their music, and less well known music of well-known composers, without excluding favourites in general.
The music ranges from early to recent and includes not only symphonic but instrumental as well as vocal works. The aim is to provide a balance of these in most of the programmes.
A brief explanation will precede each piece, and a short discussion may follow it.
We hope to receive your comments and suggestions through the coming months.
The dates for our sessions are:
| ? | Presentation by Giles Turner. |
