Music of the Impressionist Period
Presenter: Susan Deas
Saturday 22 July  | 9.30am - 4.30pm | Fine Music Learning Centre | $95 (introductory price)

The period from around 1880 to 1920, sometimes described as Impressionism, has given us some of the most beautiful and bewitching music of western history. Composers such as Sibelius, Elgar, Mahler, Debussy and Ravel gave the world exotic and rich new sounds, in the last moments before many composers abandoned ‘normal’ music and went atonal. This study day examines the music of this period in its historical and social context.

What Do Conductors Do?
Presenter: Susan Deas
Thursday 20 April | 6.00 - 8.30pm | Fine Music Learning Centre | $45

Classical music conductors: we’ve all seen them, waving their arms around and looking intense. But what are conductors actually doing? What would happen if they stopped conducting? Would the music really fall apart? Why are some conductors more famous than others? You will find the answer to these questions and more through Presenter Susan Deas, who will explore the thrilling and exciting world of conductors and the facts and myths about conducting classical music! Join fellow music lovers for an evening of discovery and conversation with wine and a light supper.

Music of the Romantic Period
Presenter: Susan Deas
Saturday 1 July  | 9.30am - 4.30pm | Fine Music Learning Centre | $95 (introductory price)

“Who can do anything after Beethoven?” Composers in nineteenth century Europe had a daunting predecessor, but the music they wrote is some of the most beautiful and dramatic of all classical music. Examining the music of the Romantic period in its historical and social context, we look at the works of composers such as Beethoven, Schumann, Schubert, Liszt, Chopin, Mendelssohn, Brahms and Tchaikovsky.
