The group is now successfully up and running with our third meeting took place on 4 March

I will be discussing with founding group members how we should proceed as, of course, some classical music, especially symphonies, can be rather lengthy.  My question would be should mere extracts be taken from a complete work or can we listen to the whole piece

We will hopefully find the experience constructive and entertaining and certainly not serious but lighthearted.  Of course, any input from the group will be most welcome

At our meeting on 6 May, we enjoyed the following:

Gustav Holst (1874 - 1934)

The Planets

Jupiter - The Bringer of Jollity

Saturn - The Bringer of Old Age

Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872 - 1958)
