Music Matters

Ever wanted to know a bit more about classical music and musicians?

LMP full orchestraEvery Tuesday evening throughout the autumn and spring the LMP runs Music Matters classes at Fairfield, offering a fun and informal way to further your musical knowledge. The sessions focus on a range of subjects - often relating to LMP Fairfield concerts - and are led by musicians, conductors and other personalities from the world of orchestral music.

This is your chance to meet the musicians from the orchestra in an informal setting and hear them talk about their life in the orchestra as well as discussing music the orchestra will be performing this season. Members are entitled to generous discounts on tickets for LMP concerts at Fairfield and are also welcome to attend rehearsals for LMP Fairfield concerts.

Fee: £52.50 per term payable in advance; £100 for two terms booked and paid together
