NEA Institute in Classical Music and Opera

Columbia University

Oct 15, 2006 - Oct 25, 2006

Columbia University and the NEA are pleased to announce the 3rd annual Arts Journalism Institute in Classical Music and Opera. This 11-day intensive workshop brings writers and editors from across the country to New York City for a total immersion in classical music and opera. Participants will attend at least eight performances, participate in writing workshops, take short classes in music history, and meet with leaders in the field, from administrators of New York's primary music institutions, to critics and writers at major US publications. The institute is designed for American journalists who work outside of the top media markets. No specialized musical knowledge is required. Staff writers, editors, and freelancers are welcome to apply.
