This event is for students enrolled in MUSI 240: Music in Asia and MUSI 255: Music, History, and Culture ONLY.

Students enrolled in Professor Marc Gidal’s “Music in Asia” and “Music, History, and Culture” courses will take a field trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to learn to understand a selection of music traditions in their cultural and historical contexts. They will examine paintings, sculptures, religious objects, architectural artifacts, and decorative objects to understand better the aesthetics, symbols, artistic practices, patron institutions, religious and secular values, and other aspects of the cultural settings that are applicable to both art and music.

This is a closed event.
