Composers, their Lives, Times & Music
Simone Graham from U3A Kyneton is offering her course – Composers, their Lives, Times and Music – to members of other U3As in 2025.
This course covers five centuries of the history of music, beginning with the 15th Century Renaissance period. It aims to satisfy the classical music lover’s curiosity about what was happening in the world at the time of some of the greatest composers, their life stories, and of course some of their compositions.
Old English
Wangaratta U3A is opening their online course on Old English, to members of other U3As.
Not only is Old English the ancestor of the language we now speak, but it is of critical importance in the history of Germanic and world languages by preserving one of the richest bodies of vernacular literature in poetry and prose in the Early Middle Ages. It includes some works, such as Beowulf, that are touchstones of world literature.
The Universe and Life
This course will discuss what modern science tells us about nature that is very small (subatomic particles), very big (the universe) and in-between (life).
