WHAT DOES THE CONDUCTOR DO BESIDES WAVE THE BATON?
WHY IS BEETHOVEN SUCH A BIG DEAL?
WHAT IS THE STATE OF CLASSICAL MUSIC TODAY? (HINT: IT’S SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST BACH, BEETHOVEN AND BRAHMS)
Instructor Scott Foglesong answers these questions and more in Fresh Look: The Symphony Exposed, a fun and stimulating journey through classical music. This introductory course will unlock mysteries and hidden surprises to enhance your enjoyment of all kinds of orchestra music.
Part One: ORCHESTRA 101—YOU COULD GOOGLE IT, OR…
We’ll start by tackling a pressing question: just what does a conductor do, anyway? After we’ve shone some light on that issue in addition to exploring their range and diversity (with the aid of many conductors and orchestras), we’ll explore the orchestra from its early days to the present, culminating in a trip through the orchestra’s sections and instruments.
Dates: Thursday, July 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 and on demand through July 31
