Members, are you ready for something new this spring? For art appreciators, there’s a new calligraphy class, a framing workshop and a trip to NYC’s Whitney Museum along with 10 drawing and painting classes. Music lovers can study Beethoven’s nine symphonies or the development of concertos, listen to a preview of the Ridgefield Symphony’s spring concert, and travel to Mohonk Mountain House to hear two live concerts or to Goodspeed Opera House for Cole Porter’s Anything Goes. History buffs can learn about Manhattan’s early years and suffragette Alice Paul.
Seminars offer interesting looks at the early days of computing, motion pictures and the Salk polio vaccine, and a trip to the Hartford Stage gives an entertaining view of the last century. There are also classes on international affairs and a speaker on current refugee and immigration services. Spring is the last chance for literature lovers to take the Sherlock Holmes class; linguists can now try French in addition to Spanish and Italian. Complement Italian classes with an in-depth look at the eternal city of Rome. The technology program offers both beginning and advanced level classes.
Spring also offers a full slate of hobby classes and drop-in groups, several delicious tastings and teas, annual fitness day, and the popular Antiques Appraisal event. To help support all this great programming, the Battle of the Chefs will return on June 5.
Look for the course book, which describes all this and more, in the mail. Return registration by Monday, March 14.
