Course: Hum 101 TZ: Experience Florence
Music and art combine to be the eternal heartbeat of this historic city. The goal of this course is to convey the spirit and the “energy” of the Renaissance and the city that birthed an era, Florence.
You will enhance your artistic appreciation of music through your experience by discovering Florence’s grand historical venues and attending musical events.
Spend three weeks living in the heart of Florence and taking day trips to Sienna, Fiesole, San Gimignano, Venice and Assisi. Hear the Cistercian monks of San Miniato al monte perform Gregorian chant in their evening Vespers ceremony and see an opera in the beautiful Boboli Gardens of Palazzo Pitti. Hear a concert at the new Opera di Firenze or one of Florence’s many other beautiful theatres.
Explore some of the world’s most famous works of art at the Galleria dell Academia, the Uffizi Gallery, Pitti Palace, the Bargello and more, then take in breathtaking views from Piazzale Michelangelo and the Tuscan countryside.
