Music of the 19th Century &
Symphonic Music:
Germany, the Czech Republic,
Hungary & Austria
Summer 2017, May 29 – June 19
PROGRAM:
Participants will study the music of the 19th Century (romantic period/1825 to 1900) or Symphonic
Music, depending on your registration. Societal trends of the times and how they affected the arts will
be discussed in detail. Study of this will be enhanced through visits to museums, concert halls,
cathedrals, other historic venues and attendance of live concerts in the culturally rich cities in which we
will stay.
ACADEMIC DIRECTOR:
Professor Patrick Miles, Director of Orchestral Activities and Professor of Horn at UW-Stevens Point will
lead the group. Dr. Miles has led groups to Italy, Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Britain and the
Far East. He has significant performing experiences as a hornist and conductor throughout the U.S. and
in Europe.
