Oct. 2 A&S Social (Newark, DE)

LATE PERIOD MUSIC!
Lovely gentles! Strummer will be teaching a class at A&S Night on late period music. Learn about and listen to several styles of music and the instruments they were played on. (She’ll bring her lute for show & tell!) We will also discuss easy ways to begin playing/singing period music at home on modern instruments.

If you’ve ever wanted to be the bard, but have been intimidated by the sheer mass of musical know-how, this class is a great way to get your feet wet. If you already have experience as a period musician, please come and bring your instrument for music-making! 

Share the event and bring a friend!

WHEN
Wednesday, October 2, 2024, 6:00 – 9:00 PM

WHERE
Home of Minister of A&S, Simona della Luna, Newark, DE 19702.  There is a cat (in case of allergies) and a few steps to enter the house.
