Music and Beyond’s Artistic Director Julian Armour will host a six-part lecture series that explores different aspects of classical music, and what makes it so remarkable. This series will offer something for everyone from diehard classical music lovers to those who are newly discovering the joys of great music.

Each class will be filled with interesting facts, fun anecdotes, and many musical examples. Participants will have regular opportunities to join the discussion and ask questions. There will be exciting guests throughout the series.

This course deals with many elements that contribute to the enjoyment of classical music:

What is classical music?
How is classical music different from popular music?
I don’t understand modern music at all – what are the composers trying to do?
What do all these terms mean? (Symphony, sonata, fugue, rondo, allegro etc.…)
How can I get my kids to enjoy classical music?
What is opera all about?
How do I know when to clap at a classical music concert?

In this course we de-mystify everything about classical music!

Each lecture will be given in English, but participation in French is welcome.

A Voyage through Classical Music starts on Wednesday, March 6. Classes will be offered each week on Zoom from 2:00 to 4:00 pm ET.

Wednesday, March 6 – Classical Music: Why is it different, and what makes it so special?

Wednesday, March 13 – The Many Periods of Music

Wednesday, March 20 – The Forms of Music

Wednesday, March 27 – Folks Songs and Nationalism

Wednesday, April 3 – Four Centuries of the Concerto

Wednesday, April 10 – 20th Century Music – and Beyond!

Here are only a few of the many positive comments from the last online course presented by Julian Armour:

A superb lecturer with a love and vast knowledge of music. His enthusiasm for his subject is infectious. I loved every lecture…also loved the way the lecturer dealt with everyone’s questions.

Julian is a wonderfully engaging and knowledgeable lecturer. His lectures are the highlight of my week.

Julian’s lecture series are very interesting, his delivery is friendly and natural, and he has such deep knowledge about the subject. He chooses beautiful music. This is my second workshop with Julian. I have learned a ton about music.

The lecturer just seems to personify what a good lecturer is, passionate about his subject, well versed about his topic, likes people to ask questions, great speaking voice, and shares funny stories. I did not want the series to end.

Tickets for the whole series are $150 per person. Passholders for the 2024 Music and Beyond Festival can participate for $120. Tickets are available at www.musicandbeyond.ca
