This is a new group which aims to explore the scope and variety of Western classical music from medieval times to the present day. The key word in the group title is ‘Discovering’, and group members are not required to possess any prior Knowledge of classical music. Members will be encouraged to facilitate a collective interactive experience, with everyone being invited to participate should they wish. For example, throughout the programme members will be invited to suggest compositions and / or performers of interest to them, and to provide brief details about why they like or enjoy their suggestions. Learning will also be promoted through fun quizzes and activities. Each member will be encouraged to pursue their own personal journey of classical music discovery.

The programme will incorporate the exploration of musical eras, genres, composers and instruments.

Above all, our overriding aim is to promote enjoyment and fun whilst discovering different dimensions of classical music

Format

The group will meet fortnightly, and will make use of a wide variety of audio-visual aids.  There will be opportunities to observe/listen to a selection of musical performances, learn about and discuss the history of Classical Music and recognise key ‘masters’.

The final part of each session will include  a good natured quiz.
