Classical Conversations: Dance, Rhythm, & Blues

Go inside the music.

Join Dr. Eric McIntyre of Grinnell College for an informal and enjoyable online class that discusses various topics in Classical Music. This class is designed for anyone who enjoys music — from long-time Symphony-goers to those interested in attending their first concert.

In this informative and entertaining class, you'll learn about the music featured in our January Live from the Temple Concert, Dance, Rhythm, & Blues. From Stravinsky’s L’Histoire du Soldat to the ragtime riffs of Joplin’s The Entertainer, this wide-ranging program spans a century of dance music
