Classical Music

An appreciation of music through a programme of concerts and talks

When the Classical Music Interest Group was set up in 2008, the primary purpose was to make concert-going as easy as possible for Phyllis Court members, and that remains the focus. Every month members meet at Phyllis Court and travel by luxury coach to a concert usually, but not exclusively, in London. The emphasis is on covering all types of classical music, including opera and of course the BBC Proms.

In addition, Classical Music organises occasional illustrated talks on particular music topics, led by external speakers or knowledgeable members of the Club.

Although they are strictly Club events, Classical Music also helps organise the classical chamber concerts held in the Ballroom during the year. The positive feedback from the world-class musicians who have played at Phyllis Court is very rewarding.
