Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking event that delves into the heart of accusations that classical music is an elitist art form.

We will discuss, and consider whether the majestic compositions of Mozart, Beethoven, Bach or other masters only intended for a select few, or can they be heard, and enjoyed, by all.
