Musical Reflections -- Study Courses with Kathryn Whitney in Victoria

What does music mean? Why does music have a special power over us? Where does music come from and where is it going? What forces shape our music?

If you have ever wondered about the answers to these questions, if you have your own views, or if you simply love music and would welcome the chance to learn more about it, why not join us for some Musical Reflections?

Kathryn is offering three separate courses for people interested in meeting in small groups to talk about music -- the most powerful and elusive of all the arts. All courses are designed for a general audience and no previous musical experience is necessary.

Please click on the links below for further information about each of the courses on offer.
