Symposium

St. Vitus’ Cathedral and Prague Castle: Má vlast is dedicated to the city of Prague
For the final session of this term we will listen to the Má vlast cycle in its entirety; it’s the best way to listen to it – I’ve always found fascinating and exciting the way that the work builds to the patriotic fervour of Blaník.

Out of interest, the OED defines a symposium as:
A drinking-party; a convivial meeting for drinking, conversation, and intellectual entertainment: properly among the ancient Greeks, hence generally.
Perish the thought!!

Courses for next year will start on the 18th and 19th of January.
