Starting on Friday 29th January 2027, this is a new group to share and increase your knowledge of Classical music of all types, from medieval to modern day and including Opera.

In fact, everything you wanted to know about Classical music but were afraid to ask!

This Group meets of the last Friday of the month at 2pm in the basement at the Leaders Home address. In order to join or to obtain further details then use the Contact link at the top of the page to send Sheila Dixon an email.

Please be aware that these sessions will take place in a basement so there is a flight of stairs to negotiate!

The first session's topic is "Bring your favourite Classical track" and be ready to tell the group about the composer, the orchestra and artist(s) and of course why you like it! There are facilities for vinyl, including old 78's, tapes, discs, Bluetooth and a large screen for DVDs.

Further monthly sessions will be decided by the group but could include Composers in alphabetical order, specific Composers, a particular Country famous for it's music or compositions from a particular century. Opera and Operetta will certainly play a part.

We could also arrange visits to the theatre, cinema or other music venues.

You don't have to have any in depth knowledge, just be happy to take part, listen and may be find out things you never knew!

We have a 20 minute break for tea/coffee and biscuits. See you soon!
