Come join us as we explore a wide range of repertoire in this informal online class setting. The best part - after learning about the music, you can attend local concerts to hear the music with friends from class!​

​

Students will be able to participate with their thoughts in an informal back and forth at different points in the session. This is a low-pressure environment, where everyone's thoughts are welcome as we learn about composers and their repertoire!

 

Students will occasionally be asked to prepare short presentations to introduce biographical details about a composer from publicly available information on the internet.

​

Please note that although all repertoire from the concerts is listed below, we may not have time in each class to cover all pieces.

​

When

Thursdays, from July 17 - August 14

8:30-9:30am EDT*

​

*Please be in touch if you're interested but that time doesn't work. I've had various people express interest but have difficulty with the time. A recorded version will be made available for students unable to make the morning session, and if enough people are available in the evening, an additional slot could be added.
