I am pleased to announce that I will be teaching The Orchestra of Life Master Classes at the Osher Lifelong Learning Insitute (OLLI) at Duke University in the spring of 2025!

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute is an inclusive community of nearly 2,000 adults who share a love of learning. By becoming a member, you’ll join peers who seek to foster connection, exploration, and engagement. We take pride in providing an excellent lifelong learning experience for our members.

Mission Statement: The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Duke University seeks to engage the minds, elevate the spirits and foster the well-being of its members through numerous educational programs and opportunities for volunteer service and social activity.

To learn more about the OLLI program at Duke, go to their website at https://learnmore.duke.edu/olli.

The Orchestra of Life will be taught in 6 weekly sessions. Each session will be immersive, interactive, offering opportunities to hear beautiful music from the orchestral repertoire. Students will be provided a facilitated experience in listening to music, while developing their own vocabulary to describe what they hear.

Due to the structure of the Master Classes, those who have taken the course previously will find this experience to be different and just as engaging. New pieces, new content!

For more information, visit the OLLI at Duke website. (Please note that the course offerings for the spring term will be posted some time after March 8, 2025.)
