The course with Roy Stratford, which costs £75, is suitable for all, and is divided into sessions covering Early Brahms, The Reluctant Romantic; Masterpieces of Chamber Music, Brahms and the Creative Process; Brahms and the Symphony; and Brahms the Progressive. Each section will be followed by a question-and-answer session and discussion with the tutor.

Spokeswoman Rachel Aked said: “Johannes Brahms stands outside the mainstream of the Romantic movement. His music is a fascinating combination of traditional forms and powerful, romantic harmony, often creating a profound emotional effect in his chamber music repertoire.”
