Online & Streaming

The Muscarelle Museum of Art at the College of William and Mary was only established in 1983, but the university’s art collection housed there has been in existence since its first gift in 1732. This exhibition of 23 paintings includes many of the collections most significant works dating from the 16th through 20th centuries. Highlights include a drawing by the Renaissance master, Raphael, paintings by Italian, Flemish, and Dutch masters of the Baroque period such as Titian, Annibale Carracci, Peter Paul Rubens and Rembrandt, important 19th century French paintings by Paul Cézanne and Eugène Boudin and a major floral painting by Georgia O’Keeffe. The exhibition will focus on how to cultivate an expert’s eye and learn to identify the characteristics of style, technique and authorship when looking at these exceptional works of art. Along with extensive didactic material in the gallery and a mobile gallery guide, Orlando Museum of Art Director and CEO, Dr. Aaron H. De Groft will lead a 10-part program on the art of connoisseurship. The European Old Master Painting Collection at the Bob Jones University Museum & Gallery is one of the largest and most comprehensive of its kind in the United States. This exhibition of more than 60 works of art from the 14th through the 19th centuries reflects the dramatic course of religious, artistic, and cultural history in Western European during these formative centuries. While the collection’s greatest strength is Italian Baroque painting, major artists working in Holland, Flanders, France, and Germany are represented by large-scale works of exceptional quality. Highlights include masterpieces by Botticelli, Rubens, Tintoretto, Veronese, Cranach, Murillo, Ribera, van Dyck, and Doré. The exhibition will give visitors a deeper understanding of the mainstream developments in European painting over the course of almost five centuries. Additionally, the exhibition will focus on guiding visitors through the fascinating narrative subjects of these works and their rich symbolism, some of which is now obscure and mysterious.

Vocal Masterclass

In-School Workshops & Classes ; Student Showcase Opportunities

A professional teaching artist and collaborative pianist from Opera Orlando come into your school (virtually or face to face) to work with your singers in a masterclass setting. This is a fantastic program to schedule before solo and ensemble festivals or district and state Thespian competitions to give your students a chance to workshop their performance with a teaching artist before taking their performance to adjudication. Teaching artists work one on one with a handful of students (5-7) in front of the rest of the class. This gives the performer a chance to work on their repertoire with a professional AND the rest of the class learns by observing. This has been a very successful program and is such an invaluable experience for young singers. This program is very easily adaptable to the online format.

Works With Sounds

In-School Workshops & Classes ; Online & Streaming

Works with Sounds has provided a unique approach to music composition instruction to the Orlando area since the Fall of 2016. By focusing on a conceptual approach to composition and through the utilization of alternative notation techniques we enable people of all skill levels to actively engage with composition and artistic expression. Online classes will be centered around this same conceptual approach, but will also feature a project calendar compatible with the OCPS academic calendar. At the conclusion of the online class each student will have: completed three compositions between 3 – 6 minutes in length, studied traditional music from across the globe, learned the basics of electronic composition in TwistedWave Online an open source, browser-based digital audio workstation, and learned the fundamentals of music analysis. The course will consist of 30 classes divided into 5 modules of 6 classes. Each class will take approximately one week to complete and will focus on one of the 6 fundamental musical topics: melody, harmony, rhythm, form, texture, and timbre. Once all 6 fundamental musical topics are covered the student will have completed a module. The modules will each have a specific focus: music theory, arranging, ethnomusicology, acoustic composition, and electronic composition. This will allow the student to immerse themselves in the subject matter over the course of six weeks. At the end of each module the student will have completed a major project that could be used as coursework submission for the International Baccalaureate music program. After completing the first module, music theory, the students are allowed to choose the order in which they complete the remaining modules.
