A Contrast of Contemporaries: Bach and Handel

Bach and Handel exemplify Baroque music at its grandest and most developed. As you explore the diverse lives of these composers, study the elements of the genre that made it enduring and popular through the ages.



Women in Music

Survey womens' contributions to music, from the Middle Ages to the present. Examine symphonic music, songs, chants and opera to jazz, gospel, country and pop, through composers such as Hildegard, Clara Schumann, Bessie Smith, and Laurie Anderson.



The Evolution of the Piano

The first organ was built by ancient Greeks. Over centuries, the form of the instrument changed: keys were added and independent builders experimented with strings to create sound. Explore the evolution of an entirely new instrument --the piano.



Performances each evening by Peabody artists and exceptional students. Free access to world-class Walters Art Museum across the street.



Program in association with Peabody Institute of The Johns Hopkins University, providing musical training since 1857.



Baltimore

Once a center of shipbuilding on the Eastern seaboard, Baltimore remains an active port dedicated to preserving its maritime heritage. From historic neighborhoods to famed cultural and educational facilities, Baltimore is a world-class city.
