Road Scholar at Peabody Program
Road Scholar is the world’s largest educational and travel organization for older adults. The Road Scholar at Peabody program attracts senior citizens from all over the country to the Peabody campus for intensive week-long music education classes.
The participants are on campus from Sunday through Friday each week throughout the year, staying in the Peabody Inn and sharing the dining hall with Peabody students. Most Road Scholar participants are retired professionals who come to Peabody in pursuit of lifelong learning experiences in music. They are an important part of the Peabody community and provide a warm, intelligent and responsive audience for student recitals and concerts.
We welcome all Peabody students to sign up for a Road Scholar recital. We schedule recitals at 7:15 and 8:30 PM Sunday through Thursday evenings most weeks of the year. They are performed in the various recital venues on campus as well as in Conservatory 308. The recitals should be approximately 50 minutes long. This is wonderful opportunity for students to build stage presence and perform repertoire in front of appreciative audiences.
Many Peabody teachers encourage their students to schedule a Road Scholar recital; however, teacher approval is not required.
To schedule a recital contact Barbara Wadyka at bwadyka1@peabody.jhu.edu.
