Armchair Journeys
Armchair Journeys
One evening, during the pandemic, while listening to the Gewandhaus Orchestra online, I realized that we could help make your days a little brighter by presenting art discussions similar to what we do on our travel journeys. And because we were all sequestered, many musicians and teachers were out of work due to canceled concerts and events.
So to give you something to do and to help artists during this unprecedented time, Artful Journeys assembled some of our faculty to enliven your senses and help you through the barriers of isolation. Thanks to technology such as Zoom, we were able to bring these presentations into your home.
In 2026, we continue to bring you these Armchair Journeys, albeit a lot fewer. Freedom to go places and mingle again has made zoom meetings not obsolete, but less necessary, although we have learned that zoom is a great convenience. The poetry group that began in June 2020 is still going strong and I almost feel guilty when I am traveling and cannot host a session or two. However, I don't feel guilty enough not to travel!!
Keep an eye out for more Armchairs. There will be more.
CONVERSATIONAL ITALIAN 28
June 10 - July 29, 2026
Class Description
If you are travling to Italy in the near future and need to brush up on your conversational Italian, why not join Vilma's class?
Vilma teaches conversational Italian, with some grammar, in sets of 8-week series. In the last 5 years since commencing, some participants are fluent. They just need more time in Italy to overcome their hesitant speaking. Vilma, on the other hand, speaks molto veloce, and we understand most of her jokes. We are now entering the twenty-fifth series of Italian with Vilma. There are still 3 requirements to participate in these classes: 1. you are willing to converse in Italian, no matter how rudimentary; 2. you're not afraid of making mistakes; and 3. you have a sense of humor!

MUSIC AND THE NATURAL WORLD with Joe Marchio
September 28 - December 14, 2026
Class Description
In this series, Joe probably won't take us to see the northern lights in Norway, but he will introduce us to music that describes sunrises, birds, forests and trees, fish, clouds, flowers, the oceans and seas, mountains, lakes, rivers, canyons and pastures - in other words, the world we were given to honor. Hopefully, we do. Joe will take us around the world with composers whose compositions render our natural physical world.
