Music Appreciation meets on the 1st Tuesday of the month at the Council Offices. The meeting starts at 2pm. Geoff an Gren are the convenors. All members welcome.

Joining the music appreciation group is an adventure in discovering new pieces of music, composers or artist or reflecting back on music that had a place in your life. The group is very friendly and the session relaxing – it’s a little oasis in a busy world!

“Have you ever heard a piece of music that made you want to get up and dance? Cry your heart out? Sing at the top of your lungs? Whether pop, classical, or anything in between, music provides a powerful way for people to celebrate and connect with something larger than themselves”
