MUSC 351 - Departmental Ensemble Tour

Credits: (3)
College Curriculum: COLL 300, ACTV, ARTS
Students in this course will travel to destinations that lift them out of the familiar surroundings of Williamsburg and traditional performance venues. During the tour experience, students will examine how various social and political circumstances influence daily life, particularly in regard to the arts. They will note similarities and differences between mainstream/traditional American music and the music of the destination culture. Students will engage in collaborative concerts and exchange ideas with members of local performing ensembles on site in the tour destination. Students will also participate in workshops with local composers, conductors, educators, and other professionals.
Note: This course is a combination of the 1 credit ensemble course and the international trip. A fee may be required.
