    Weekly

  • Description:

    This is a course aimed at pleasure – the pleasure derived from listening to great music. In some cases you will be introduced to less familiar works. Most weeks we will listen to a piece of music, after an introduction and the playing of extracts, which should help with a greater appreciation of the piece. Presentations will include works by, amongst others, Bruckner, Mozart, Nielsen, Sibelius, Beethoven and Ravel. One week will be devoted to a so-called Innocent Ear session where you will learn the title of the piece only after hearing it. Another week will be of music chosen by the members. No detailed knowledge of music is necessary - merely the desire to hear great music.
