On the third Thursday of each month, we get together at Tavern of Fine Arts to listen to and discuss a piece of music being performed at an upcoming concert at Powell Hall. We will have a different guest moderator each month who will help lead an informal conversation about the music.” A special cocktail is created for each event to accompany the music. This month, symphony keyboardist Peter Henderson will discuss Prokofiev's Symphony No. 5. The event takes place at The Tavern of Fine Arts, 313 Belt in the Debaliviere Place neighborhood.
