Information Session: The Brazilian Experience: Surveying Brazilian Culture Through Music and Education

This summer break program introduce students to the music, culture, and educational systems of Brazil.  After one week of study on the Ohio State campus in May, all members of the class will travel to Salvador, Bahia - the musical heart of Brazil. Following the stay in Salvador, the group will travel to Rio de Janeiro to experience its rich culture. While in Brazil, students will engage in master classes, interactive music performances, and observation of schools, in addition to several cultural experiences. This program is open to the entire undergraduate campus community. No musical experience is necessary, though music majors and students with music performance experience are encouraged to apply.
