EasyFor people looking to exercise their minds more than their bodies. There’s minimal walking and not too many stairs.
ModerateThese programs get you on your feet and include activities such as walking up to a mile in a day through a city and standing in a museum for a few hours.
ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
ChallengingGet ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.
Though originally a kind of dance music, jazz has been a major part of our popular music. Explore the origins of jazz from its birth in New Orleans, to its further development in Chicago and New York City. Trace the evolution of the Broadway musical through the 20's, 30's and 40's, and marvel at the compositional versatility of Leonard Bernstein in the “West Side Story,” “Candide,” and “Trouble in Tahiti,” composed in the 50's.


Highlights

• Explore dixieland, stride pianists, and the birth of big band and swing through audio, video and live performance.
• Examine styles, dramatic forms, and the role of dance used in stage works by Gershwin, Rodgers, Porter, Berlin and more!
• Delight in performances by Peabody artists and exceptional students, and take advantage of free access to the world-class Walters Art Museum across the street from campus.
