Upcoming Elderhostel Programs

The Peabody Elderhostel offers courses in a wide array of musical subjects, from classical to popular, Broadway and jazz.   

For more detailed infomation on any of our programs, including course descriptions and instructors, click on the course title.  (Please note that instructors and course topics are subject to change.)

Each program lasts six days and five nights, beginning on a Sunday and concluding the following Friday.  Exceptions to this schedule are our "Snapshot" programs, which are intended to provide a convenient introduction to our Elderhostel experience.  They are therefore shorter in length, running four days and three nights (beginning on a Sunday and ending on the following Wednesday).

To enroll in a program, please contact Elderhostel directly at 1.877.426.8056 or visit www.elderhostel.org. For more information, you may call Peabody Elderhostel directly at 410-659-8100 x3085.

Note: Only full week programs scheduled through November 2008 and snapshot programs scheduled through February 2009 are currently open for enrollment. All other future dates are simply listed for travel planning purposes and are not yet open for enrollment.
