Monthly sessions meet 5:30-8:30 pm at Court Square Theater, with all materials provided. Space is limited; registration is required. Master Classes are offered at no charge to the public, thanks to

Music and the arts have always sparked Harold Bailey’s curiosity and creativity. He began playing the piano as a self-taught musician and went on to receive an undergraduate degree in music performance from Radford University, followed by a master of music in piano performance from James Madison University. An adjunct faculty member in the Eastern Mennonite University School of Theology, Humanities and Performing Arts, Bailey works with the Preparatory Music Program. He enjoys composing and uncovering musical connections in both familiar and obscure works, with the goal of helping others discover how utterly moving music can be.
