Classical Music in Austria

Open to Northeastern University students of any major and select partner institutions, the Dialogue of Civilizations is a series of "global student exchanges" between students at Northeastern University and students around the world.

The goal of each program is:

• to connect NU students with their peers in different national, cultural, political, and social environments and
• to provide NU students with a "global experience" that builds upon and enhances their academic studies and training in Boston.

The Dialogue of Civilisations here at Salzburg College concentrates on European Music of the Classic period. Students study the evolution of local composers like Mozart, Haydn, etc, as well as classical genres popular from 1750-1830. Part of the learning experience is the attendance of concerts in venues where premier performances of the studied works were given.

Courses:

• MUSC 1123: Music of the Classical Era

Plus one of the following:

• German language
• Understanding Austria
• Cultural Business and Marketing
• History of European Art
• Photography: The Historical and Contemporary Image

Field Trips

An optional four-day trip to Vienna, Austria 's historical capital, will provide a broad range of experiences related to history, art, music, and modern life. Students may attend performances at the Vienna State Opera, the Volkstheater or the famed Musikverein.

Another optional four-day trip takes the students to Venice and its fabulous surrounding region.

In addition, a variety of local field trips constitute an integrated part of the academic program. All trips and excursions are included in the program cost.

Housing

Students live in an Austrian Bed & Breakfast in walking distance to downtown and Salzburg College. Usually 2-4 students share a room.

Weekday lunches are provided by Salzburg College.
