91ֱ��

91ֱ�� Conservatory Global, the virtual-learning platform created to deliver the resources of 91ֱ�� to audiences worldwide, begins its second year with three new courses crafted for lifelong learners of all ages.

Programs are designed to appeal to a wide range of interests, from those seeking deep dives through music’s history to those looking to more fully appreciate their concert experience, to those navigating careers in music and the arts. All sessions are led by conservatory faculty or noted authorities on each topic.

OC Global’s spring course lineup includes:

HOW TO LISTEN
A team of 91ֱ�� Conservatory faculty helps students to more fully understand—and enjoy—each concert experience. The course includes weekly preview presentations and discussions providing insight on upcoming concert programs livestreamed from 91ֱ��’s campus. Highlighted music will include a wide range of styles and composers spanning the 18th through 21st centuries—including a world premiere.

Classes begin February 24 (six weekly sessions on Thursday nights, followed by six livestreamed performances on Fridays); deadline to register is February 17. Learn more about this course on the OC Global site.

BAROQUE MUSIC AND INSTRUMENTS
History comes to life in this eight-session course exploring a multitude of topics related to Baroque performance. Each session is led by faculty from 91ֱ�� Conservatory and the 91ֱ�� Baroque Performance Institute and focuses on a unique instrument family.

Classes begin March 7 (eight weekly sessions on Monday nights); deadline to register is March 30. Learn more about this course on the OC Global site.

MUSICIAN’S BUSINESS TOOLKIT
Learn how to navigate issues related to self-employment in music and the arts. Each of four sessions is led by an industry expert on taxes, fundraising, copyright law, and nonprofit startups.

Classes begin April 6 (four weekly sessions on Wednesday nights); deadline to register is March 30. Learn more about this course on the OC Global site.

All three courses are eligible for continuing-education credit (details available on each course page).
