The Secrets of... Listening Creatively
David kicks off the series with a general look at the idea of ‘listening creatively’. There’s hearing and then there’s listening, and some ways of doing it open our hearts and our minds. Each type of music has its own way of engaging with us. Through discussion and numerous musical examples, David will guide listeners – experienced and inexperienced alike – through the essentials of getting the most out of classical music.
