WELCOME
New members are welcome. You don't need to be a classical music expert. Most
of us enjoy just listening. The cost is low and we are a relaxed and
friendly group. You can check us out before you join by dropping into one of
our meetings free of charge. Call the Membership Secretary on 0121 705 5495
or email
music-circle@blueyonder.co.uk to let us know you are coming.
PROGRAMMES
Our aim is to listen to good music in good company. Most of the programmes
are presented by our members on a voluntary basis. We play works covering a
variety of music.
MEMBERSHIP
The membership year starts in September and the annual fee is £15. We also
ask for a small contribution towards the break-time refreshments.
WHEN & WHERE
We meet on two Tuesdays each month in the Malley Studio at Alderbrook School
& Arts College, Blossomfield Road. The programmes begin at 7.30 p.m.,
usually finishing before 10.00 p.m. There is plenty of off-the-road parking
in the school grounds
