Welcome all! Join us to learn something new about classical music in this friendly, informal online class setting. The best part: after learning about the music, you can attend an upcoming performance with friends and family.
As always, we listen together to a lot of music, learn about how the composer put it together, unearth nifty biographical tidbits about the composers, and enjoy the company of our classmates as we sip our coffee (for the morning class) or enjoy a snack (for the afternoon one).
