APL / CAE Course Update
Another Perspective on Learning (aka Richard Stone) has successfully negotiated the opening months of 2017 and is now in preparation for the late Autumn/early Winter period. Behind us are midweek CAE short courses addressing Australian history, Romantic poetry, Great War literature and the rise of the Third Reich. Weekly Sunday evening presentations at Forest Hill have covered a variety of music related topics including the life and work of Verdi.
Coming up in May, June and July are CAE courses on music and power at the court of Louis XIV, a survey of the great playwrights from the Western theatrical tradition, an introduction to four significant 20th Century literary figures, sessions on French Impressionist painting and visits to the NGV. We will also commence a cultural tour of the Mediterranean region. Beyond that, plans are in place for short courses on the Renaissance, Shakespeare, the Cold War, Australia in the 1930s and Oscar Wilde. Meanwhile, the series “Music and the Metropolis” is continuing on Sunday evenings.
A program of one off lecture/discussions addressing the life and art of historically significant local and international visual artists is scheduled to commence at the Hawthorn Library in May.
