Course Description

Instructor: Howard Cohen

Join us for a continuation or jump in for the first time on Howard's virtual Paris presentation...... There are around 130 museums in Paris, most are not visited by tourists and many are not known to Parisians. This 2-hour course will visit a number of these institutions that offer a feast for the eyes and mind.

The choices are based on the quality of the displays and the environment surrounding the material. A perfect example is the Musee Jacquemart Andre. Housed in a magnificent Beaux Arts mansion in the 8th arrondissement, this private home/museum displays outstanding paintings, sculptures and furniture. While this museum is temporarily closed, we will be able to take a virtual tour of the exhibit " JMW Turner -Paintings and Watercolors from the Tate". As usual music will be interspersed with videos.

From April 7 to 11, 2020 many classical musicians met at Seine Musicale to produce a concert album to benefit hospital workers dealing with Covid-19. Excepts from " Symphonie Pour La Vie� will provide some very affecting music.
