The Music Group is devoted to encourage the appreciation of a wide range of music - not just the popular classics. We range from programmes presented by one member to 'themed' programmes with contributions from several members. Now that we have plenty of space in the new hall we would welcome new members. We will also be holding more sessions with DVD performances. |

The meeting in April 2011 was devoted to two women composers - Jil Bartley and Amy Beach. Both were received with enthusiasm, especially Jil Bartley who was represented to 2 short works and the beautiful Requiem. This is a work that was given its UK premiere in 2006 at the Arundel Festival. For those interested in the composer, her website is www.jil-bartley.com
