MIEC at MAC

The McMillan Arts Centre (MAC) in Parksville will once again host some popular Elder College courses this semester, for example: 

WORLD OF WILLIAM WORDSWORTH, STORY AND MUSIC

One Session Only: Monday, October 26, 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. McMillan Arts Centre, Recital Room

This course explores three of William Wordsworth’s most celebrated poems: The World Is Too Much With Us, Michael, and I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud. Through a multimedia approach, participants will experience the poetry alongside photographs of England’s Lake District and original musical compositions by the instructor. We will examine how Wordsworth’s deep connection to nature shaped his “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings.” Attention will also be given to the important influence of Dorothy Wordsworth, whose journals and observations inspired many of his works. Together, the poems, music, and imagery will invite participants to reflect on the beauty of the natural world and the enduring relevance of Wordsworth’s vision of “plain living and high thinking.”

We are very grateful to the McMillan Arts Centre for generously hosting our fine arts and music courses.
