The subject for the Spring Term 2010 Music Appreciation classes is

FRANZ SCHUBERT: the Modest Genius

Come along and learn more about this fascinating figure, whose music was known during his lifetime only to a handful of friends but who is now regarded as one of the immortals. This series comprises five meetings beginning in the last week of January (but with no meetings in the half-term week beginning 15th February) and is priced at £30 for the whole course or £7 for each individual session.
