REGISTER ONLINE This mini-music appreciation course, offered in four class sessions, is designed to introduce people to the world of classical music or serve as a refresher course for those somewhat knowledgeable about classical music.
It explores the four basic periods of classical music – Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Contemporary.
