Music of the Seasons - Summer
Instructor: Judith Costello
Day: Monday Format: Online
Dates: 8/5/2024 – 8/26/2024
Time: 1:30 PM – 3:00 PM

NEW  It’s a new season, as young exuberant spring melts into golden summer — long, lazy days; awkward young animals maturing into dignified adults; fruits and berries and grains reaching their peak of lush abundance; and weather that is bright, and hot, and sometimes interrupted by fierce, destructive thunderstorms. We’ll explore how composers have depicted the many moods of summer over the centuries and around the world — from an anonymous English tunesmith of the 1260s, to the Italian Baroque genius Antonio Vivaldi, to the great 20th-century Americans, George and Ira Gershwin.

NEW An annual ceremony dating back to the twelfth century and always held in late July, ROYAL SWAN-UPPING is one of Britain’s most charming and curious traditions — part avian census, part welfare check, and part ancient ritual.

Help celebrate these magnificent creatures by joining us for a two-part class featuring a wide variety of works about swans — including a 1612 English madrigal, excerpts from Tchaikovsky’s beloved ballet music, and a haunting song by a contemporary Irish composer.

It's that time of year again!

As a cherished member of our community, we're reaching out to share an important update regarding our ongoing commitment to excellence at OLLI (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute).

You may already be familiar with the stipulations attached to Emory's Osher endowment, which require our program to meet specific criteria annually as per our agreement with the Osher Foundation. One crucial provision necessitates OLLI to gather member donations equal to at least 10% of our membership base each fiscal year.

With our fiscal year concluding on August 31, 2024, we're facing a critical juncture. Our fundraising target for this year remains at $15,000. However, we find ourselves falling short, with our current donations totaling under $4,000.

Your contribution, no matter the amount, plays a pivotal role in ensuring the sustainability and success of our program. Your generosity directly supports our ability to provide enriching educational opportunities to individuals of all ages and backgrounds, fostering a vibrant community of lifelong learners.

Please consider making a donation today to support OLLI's vital mission. Together, we can continue to inspire curiosity, foster personal growth, and cultivate a love for lifelong learning.

Thank you for your unwavering support.
