currently offering a course in
music appreciation with 14
sessions designed to expand
on upcoming concerts.

The series of informal
lectures will deal with each
of a series of concerts by
VSO and will encompass the
music, the composers, the
musicians and instruments in
detail to give participants an
understanding intended to
provide greater appreciation
of the concerts.

Although the introductory
lectures to the courses were:
