Six IN-PERSON Sessions September 18, 25, October 2, 16, 23, 30 During this course we will explore six centuries of puzzles that are hidden in great musical works. Starting with Bach and his predecessors, we'll listen to their music and discover the musical charms they wrote knowing that some listeners would solve the puzzle and for some, it would just add to their listening pleasures. Fans of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Ravel and others, will get a “behind-the-scenes” look into the fascinating musical genius of over 20 composers from the 16th century to the 21st century. Join us as we go “behind the curtain” and discover the musical magicians' secrets! Steve Coldiron has been teaching BULLI courses for many years, totaling over 20 courses to date.
