ORATORIAN COMMUNITY IN FORMATION: NEWMAN ASSOCIATION - JULY 2017

The Newman Association met on 11th July. Fr Phillip presented an introduction to Gustav Mahler which included excerpts from the First Symphony, the song-cycle Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen (Songs of a Wayfarer) and musical examples played at the keyboard. For many members it was a first exposure to this great composer. The lecture was preceded by dinner as usual, this month consisting of a pot of Italian minestra for the cold season.
