This group endeavours to enhance our understanding and enjoyment of listening to classical music. A team of presenters create their own programmes in concert format, and during the season works from the various musical periods will be played and discussed.

Definitely a non-competitive group, we play classical, light, folk music and more. Whatever your standard of instrumental playing, you are most welcome to join us in our musical experiences.

Shalford Methodist Hall

Join the Jazz Group. Foot tapping music, traditional and modern, with different presenters sharing their love of jazz with us, plus some live performances

In our established format, each month a different member of the group will present an opera of his/her choosing, some well known but others less so. These presentations have been in sound only but this year we hope to increase the use of DVD projection to add pictures to the sound.

We listen to a programme of recorded music introduced by one of our members (or by someone outside the group). The programme may have a theme or be a miscellany chosen by the presenter. The object is to enhance our enjoyment of music, both familiar and unfamiliar

We will be rehearsing choruses from Vivaldi's Gloria for a workshop and performance in November. Otherwise we sing in a variety of styles: from early music, classical and romantic part songs to folk, pop and songs from musicals.  N.B. workshop Nov 9, 11am - 4pm, Emmanuel Church

We shall continue our study of Wagner's Music Dramas. This season, members of the group will present various aspects of these works, including some which we have already considered.
