What we do

Music Appreciation has a wide appeal. Our membership of approximately 20, ladies and gentlemen, brings to our sessions a variety of music, from classical to popular, which is both enlightening and entertaining. As well as listening, there is usually time for a short discussion.

We usually choose a theme, often relating to the time of year or a specific date: for example our February date is the 14th, so the theme will be, not surprisingly, romance!

Some members bring tapes or CDs, while others just come to listen and learn with others.

We have our refreshments at the beginning of the morning to sip while we listen and learn to a wide range of musical styles.

Our meetings are very popular and well attended. We were not able to meet in January for Jazz Music, so decided to carry this over to May. February meeting was very lively with a wide variety of items from German composers. So on May 11 we will listen to Jazz then on June 8 the subject is Gilbert and Sullivan. July 6 is the date for Opera.

Continuing to enjoy listening to music and learning about composers and artistes. There are usually around 15 members present which is a nice balance, giving most a chance to have their chosen piece played. And of course we enjoy our cuppa while we listen.
Our themes for the New Year are:
