.Rob Humberston introduces a class of musical listening and exploration by way of his personal collection of recordings built over five decades. One unique aspect of his collection is the inclusion of recordings based on historically informed performance practices, often utilizing instruments - both original and in reproduction - appropriate to the time of the composition.
Rob will take a chronological approach to choosing different topics for listening and discussion, including: musical forms, chant, historical musical instruments, specific genres of music, geographical considerations, and selected composers.
