INTRODUCTION
*****************************************************************

When you join a Music Society, you get the opportunity to listen to music in a friendly atmosphere, to discuss your likes and dislikes and hear the views of others. An in-depth knowledge of music is certainly not necessary although it obviously isn't a handicap either.
*****************************************************************
Other advantages that you gain are those common to most societies - pleasures from new friendships, a happy social atmosphere, and widening horizons - and not all the talk is about music!
The best way of discovering what happens is to attend one of our programmes, take out an evening's temporary membership and to talk to the members. You are welcome to do this without being under any obligation.

But before that to kick-off our new season……

Friday September 10th. THE INNOCENT EAR

Following the August break our President, Lyndon Jenkins, kicks off the autumn season with a programme based on the old radio show of the same name. Our view of a piece of music can be influenced by knowing the title or the composer. But what if you switch on the radio just after the announcement and you have to judge the music purely on its merits? That's what this programme is all about and it will be interesting to hear what Lyndon has found for us. We know that it will be a relaxed evening partly because Lyndon insists on starting with the refreshments and just topping them up at the interval. With his vast knowledge of music and having met so many famous musicians, he has a fund of stories to tell and will soon have us smiling.

This presentation will be held at Holy Innocents Community Hall,
Foley Park, Kidderminster and starts at 7.30pm
