Columbia University and the National Endowment for the Arts are pleased to announce the 4rd annual Arts Journalism Institute in Classical Music and Opera. This 11-day intensive workshop brings writers and editors from across the country to New York City for a total immersion in the world of classical music and opera. Participants will attend at least 8 performances, participate in writing workshops, take short classes in music history, and meet with leaders in the field, from administrators of New York's primary music institutions, to critics and writers at major US publications.
