Graphic of Delaware with Kent County Highlighted

Many great symphonists and opera composers have also contributed to the sub-genre of “ballet music.” We will examine such music for the dance by composers such as Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Copland. Do not expect a course on ballet per se; just come to experience and enjoy some wonderful music by some of the greatest composers.

Check to see if this course has posted a class outline or syllabus.

This offering meets for a total of 11 session(s).
