Paris, France (Summer) Program

The Paris, France (Summer) program is a two and a half week long summer program that examines the politics, history, and cultural identity of France through the soundscape of Paris and Versailles.

Program Description

Students will explore culturally-rich neighborhoods and enjoy the pleasure of "haute cuisine" at French restaurants and bistros. Every class will take place at a select location in the city and the group will visit museums, parks, monuments, churches, cemeteries, and open-air performance spaces. Following the course, students are required to submit an audio essay, which highlights a critical awareness of the sonic heritage of Paris and Versailles, from Ancient Gaul to today.

This program will be on hiatus in 2023 and will be offered again in Summer 2024.
