About the group:
The Music for Pleasure group has as its principle the enjoyment of familiar music or music that members may not know.
Meetings will be held at Anne Beaty's house in Buckingham.
At each meeting, a member can volunteer to present a programme of music that they enjoy – classical, jazz, light music, or any other genre, with comment from the presenter and discussion of the music chosen. There is no obligation to do this, you can just listen and enjoy.
Recently we have discovered the pleasure of watching performances on YouTube as well as listening to our selected pieces of music.
Since December we have been trying a slightly different format to our meetings. We have been selecting an instrument of the month. Members have then made their own selection of music for the group to listen to at the next meeting. It has been interesting to discover the wide variety of music that we have watched and listened to based on each members personal selections.
Previously we have enjoyed listening to many musical genres, a wide variety of both composers and performers. The pleasure has come from sharing with others the music that we enjoy, listening to music that we have not previously explored and discovering new musical pleasures.
