Arts Journalism Institute in Classical Music and Opera Announced
To Be Held at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism Oct. 16-27, 2005
NEW YORK -- June 23, 2005 -- With support from the National Endowment for the Arts, this intensive workshop brings twenty-five arts writers, critics and editors to New York City for a deep immersion in classical music and opera. In October 2004, the first two-week Institute was organized at Columbia University for writers who live outside the nation's ten largest cities. Journalists from twenty states attended classroom sessions on classical music, heard concerts, and took part in writing workshops led by top critics.
The faculty included such noted scholars and critics as Michael Beckerman, Henry Fogel, Walter Frisch, Joseph Horowitz, Elaine Sisman, Justin Davidson, Anne Midgette, Alex Ross, Terry Teachout, James Oestreich and John Rockwell. The participants learned about current issues in music management from the leadership of Carnegie Hall, Metropolitan Opera, BAM, American Symphony Orchestra League, Miller Theatre and other organizations. They honed their music skills during a voice-coaching session led by MET Opera choirmaster Raymond Hughes.
This fall, the Institute reconvenes at Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, with a similar faculty and mix of activities. Concerts will include the Cleveland Orchestra at Carnegie Hall; Falstaff at the MET Opera, with Bryn Terfel; a piano recital by Pierre-Laurent Aimard; Midori soloing with the New York Philharmonic at Lincoln Center; and Richard Rodney Bennett's "The Minds of Sulfur" at the New York City Opera. Details and guidelines will be posted at www.najp.org.
Deadline: Tuesday August 16, 2005
