Tuesday nights at Fairfield

Ever wanted to know more about the music the LMP performs or about music in general? Then Music Matters would be a great place to start. Music Matters is a series of Tuesday talks at the Fairfield Halls in Croydon, illustrated with live and recorded music. It is an informal and friendly way to meet a wide range of speakers, including orchestral players, soloists, conductors and experts in many fields of music-making.

Music Matters starts late September and consists of two terms. The evening starts at 7.30pm until 9.45pm, with a refreshment break.  The second term runs from 12th January 2010 to 23rd March 2010 with a break for half term on the 16th February.

Price per term (10 talks): £61.50. Price two terms: £113 (when booked at the same time). You can attend one taster session to see if you like it (cost £7). The cost of this session will be deducted from the term fee if you decide to sign up for one or two terms.

If you would like to know more or would like to request an enrolment form, please contact Deborah Guest at the LMP office on 020 8686 1996 or email.
