This will be a simple Meditation class. Mostly what we will do is Sit. Meditation is a very old method of learning to control your mind and how to break habitual patterns of reaction - how not to "lean into the future" but to appreciate Now.

| T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets | 11:00-12:00 |
| Bruce Bigley |
Eliot's late meditations on time and redemption through time. Eliot regarded his last collection of poems, the Four Quartets, as his masterpiece. Though he lived and wrote for 23 years after their publication, he refrained from adding to his poetic corpus. We will do a careful reading of one poem each of the four weeks. Texts will be available from Edla.
| Beethoven Preview | 1:00 - 2:20 |

Concert Preview for Seattle Chamber Music Society Festival, Monday, August 9. Beethoven String Quartet in C Major, Op. 59, No. 3. The composer is no longer reaching out to the listener but rather demanding that the listener invest some effort to discover what he offers. The investment of a little effort will allow us to appreciate the real genius of Beethoven. To this end, this session will analyze the formal structure of this work, illustrating passages of unique interest and subtlety innovations that have redefined the string quartet forever after.
