DVORAK IN AMERICA: IN SEARCH OF THE NEW WORLD
An NEH Summer Institute hosted by the Pittsburgh Symphony, July 12 to 30,
2010
There was a time when introducing young Americans to “great music” meant
venerating a pantheon of dead and distant Europeans. This is no longer
done, perhaps rightly, but nothing has taken its place.
The Dvorak in America Institute seeks to fill the gap – to show 25
elementary through high school teachers how the arts can be meaningfully
incorporated into Social Studies and History classrooms.
The institute will take place Monday through Friday, 9 am to 4:30 pm , for
three weeks, at the University of Pittsburgh campus. Director Joseph
Horowitz, and a faculty of nationally known scholars and educators, will
explore Dvorak's American music, and how it reflects the search for
American identity at the turn of the twentieth century.
Applications are due March 2, 2010. For more information, visit

Longevin-Burroughs at 412-392-8991 or institute@pittsburghsymphony.org.
