Description

Music and performance are not just artistic expressions—they are historical records. In the History of Music and Performance, we traverse continents and centuries to examine how music has reflected and influenced society from Ancient History to today. You’ll travel through World History via the chants of Egyptian priests, the epic poetry of the Greeks, and the drums of African kingdoms.

By integrating Geography, we contextualize how landscapes and cultural crossroads influence musical styles. You’ll study how migration, empire, and technology contributed to musical revolutions and global genres. This course shows how music has been used for resistance, ritual, celebration, and identity.

From operas in imperial courts to jazz in segregated neighborhoods, we unpack the social History behind the sound. If you’ve ever been curious about how performance shapes politics, protest, and people—this course is your stage. Register now—when this course ends, it ends for good.
