F91E Life and Music of Pyotr Tchaikovsky (Zoom; OLLI @ U of A)
Zoom | Available (Membership Required)
Tchaikovsky is one of the best-known classical music composers in the world. In western cultures, his name is known not only by classical music aficionados, but also by people who are not as familiar with the genre. He excelled in the business of entertaining people. Even he was tickled with his own catalog of work. While Tchaikovsky was admittedly a psychologically troubled individual, he did not let it get in the way of his amazing output. His music was genuine and unique. There is much to be learned about him, not to mention the wide scope of his music. Note: Daylight Savings Time ends on November 2, 2025. After that date this class will begin at 11:00 am EST.
