Learn to listen with MPR Classical

Have you ever wondered whether some people hear music differently than you do? Or whether you're missing out on something important as you take in a complex orchestral work? Or do you simply want to learn more about classical music?

Our colleagues over at Classical MPR have brought back their music appreciation and discussion series "Learning to Listen," and are kicking of the 2011-2012 season with a conversation about symphonies.

Hosted by Emily Reese and John Birge, the conversation will look at the history of the symphony, and how it's evolved. Their guest, conductor Bill Eddins, will then talk about the current climate in the world of orchestras.

This event takes place Monday, October 10, from 7 - 8:30PM in MPR's UBS Forum. Details on how to reserve your free tickets will be available soon at classicalmpr.org.
