Winter Break 2024 Participant
Getting to experience the history while I was learning it was an invaluable way to learn about the rich classical music traditions in Vienna and Prague. It was truly such a unique and amazing way to learn about the history of classical music, and I gained so much more than just knowledge as well. This program was absolutely incredible and I highly recommend going on it if you have the means and interest.

Winter Break 2023 Participant
I learned how to navigate a foreign country, and I learned how to be confident in my quest for knowledge! This class helped me feel like I can be curious and ask tons of questions and get meaningful responses from people that are just as passionate about the subject as I am.

Winter Break 2025 Participant
My favorite part of this program was being able to immerse myself in the art, music, culture, and history of places I have never been. Vienna, Dresden, and Prague are all places that are incredibly rich in music history, and it was so much fun to take what I have been learning in my music courses and see/apply them both in real life in a very hands-on way and straight from the source! This program also gave me a lot of freedom to explore these places and spend time with the other students on the trip, many of whom I ended up becoming very close friends with.
