Course Description
This summer course, to be held in June-July 2010 at the Freie Universität in Berlin, explores important milestones in Berlin's musical history since the mid-eighteenth century, when the court of Frederick the Great put the city on Europe's musical map. It considers Berlin's time-honored musical traditions and its rich diversity, focusing on the complementary dynamics of tradition and innovation. The course includes concerts and opera performances and tours of the music instrument museum, historic cathedral organs, important cabaret venues, the legendary Hansa studio near today's Sony Center, and a sampling of Berlin's vibrant musical nightlife. Optional meetings will be held at Lang during the spring semester to familiarize students with the practicalities of living and studying in Germany.
