Led by members of WCM’s faculty artists and held at the historic McIntosh-Goodrich Mansion on Prospect Avenue, these classes provide a world of insight into the composers and music of a featured performance. Members of the class will learn about, listen to, and discuss the music for three weeks before experiencing it in person – together!  Wine and cheese are offered at most classes, and the cost of ticket is included in the cost of enrollment.

Description: “Music is Life, and like it, it is inextinguishable.” Composer Carl Nielsen penned these words across the top of the score of his fourth symphony, now best known as “The Inextinguishable” — the fourth sets out to “express what we understand by the spirit of life or manifestations of life, that is: everything that moves, that wants to live.” Nielsen never provides a clear story, instead unleashing the music to express a range of pure feeling, both primal and pleasantly chaotic; guest conductor Rune Bergmann is perfectly suited for this ambitious symphony.
