Giacomo Mura is an Italian Classical Music Appreciation teacher. After graduating from Conservatory in Como, he studied under one of Italy's most important music historians, Alberto Batisti. He has been teaching classical music history and theory for over five years, teaching students to listen with greater awareness and enjoyment. For the past few years, Giacomo has held events with the Italian Embassy in Vienna, the Italian Culture Institute, and the Società Dante Alighieri. He also lectures in partnership with "International Study Programs," "The Austral Group," "The Global Exec," the University of Colorado, and "54Traveler."
In this lecture, Maestro Giacomo Mura will showcase the most important composers and musical styles of the Viennese tradition. We will take a passionate yet palatable journey through a century and a half of musical history, from the elegance of Mozart’s classical style to the sensual world of the most iconic dance of Europe, the Waltz. This lecture is a great way to prepare for your trip to the Austrian and Classical Music capital.
