Exploring Musical New York (MUNM 25400) is a Block 1 course designed to introduce the curious student to Broadway, opera, jazz, orchestral music and ballet by learning about specific pieces and then experiencing them live in New York over Fall Break. This year we expect to study and attend live performances of a Broadway show, the Metropolitan Opera, the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, the American Ballet Theater and jazz’s famed Birdland. No musical knowledge is expected, but excitement, enthusiasm and a desire to experience and appreciate great performances by the world’s best artists is the only prerequisite. Students must be available to travel to NY over fall break. The lab fee of $650 covers all transportation to and from NY, hotel accommodations and all tickets.  Register now or contact Peter Rothbart, Rothbart@ithaca.edu for more details. Class times are M, W 6:00-6:50. Block I. 2 credits.
