It is aimed at people who love music but are not specialists, offering a simple, accessible way into the basics of musicology and its history: musical forms and genres, terms and their meanings, instruments, the sections and layout of an orchestra, notation, and the lives of a number of composers.
Each session takes a theme and a starting point from concerts in the season itself, which participants are encouraged to attend.
