Armchair Journeys
One evening 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 are all sequestered, many musicians and teachers are now 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 has assembled some of our faculty to enliven your senses and help you through the barriers of isolation. Thanks to technology such as Zoom, we are able to bring these presentations into your home.

Imagine for a moment that the old world has returned. Imagine that you’re going to the symphony hall to hear a concert. Well, Artful Journeys will try to re-create that old excitement you feel as you walk into the hall, with instruments tuning up and a quick perusal of the program and nods to your friends and acquaintances. Bring that feeling home and join us for an in-depth musical exploration.
