Musical Travels: Composers in Other Countries (In-person)

Fall (9 - 13 hours) | Registration opens 7/29/2025 12:00 AM EDT

This course will follow the travels of several composers: Mozart in Prague, Mendelssohn in Scotland, Brahms in Switzerland, and Dvorak in Iowa, as well as expats who escaped their countries—Weill, Bartok, Rachmaninoff, and Stravinsky to the U.S.A. We will listen to and discuss works inspired by these visits away from home. Also included will be photos from my own personal travel to some of these regions.

This course will consist of discussions between the Study Leader and participants.

 

  • There are no required books for this course.
