For the Fall 2021 term, we're offering a mix of virtual and in-person classes. Although we are still primarily virtual, you will find a smaller selection of in-person seminars in the schedule. For more information about the Newberry’s virtual seminars, including a Zoom tutorial, please see our Virtual Seminars FAQ page. Registration opens on September 1st at 9am (Central time). Registration will take place through our online platform, Learning Stream.

Please note: classes that are currently scheduled to take place in the building may switch to virtual in accordance with public health and safety guidelines. Additionally, masks are required for all attendees, regardless of vaccination status. We will email participants with any changes the week before seminars begin.

Seminar Description

In this course, we will listen to, analyze, and discuss four masterpieces of orchestral music from the prolific Romantic era. Each piece demonstrates unique characteristics: the composer's musical style, its impact on Romantic concepts, its national heritage, and how it manifests the complexities that form the enormous repertoire of Romantic orchestral music.

Four sessions. Registration – $195
