Past Guest Artists & Masterclasses MARCH 2011

The Faculty is host to many guests, and students have the privilege of studying with these guest artists through masterclasses and lectures. Here are some of our featured guests from March 2011: 

On March 30 the Italian composer Professor Jacopo Baboni-Schilingi visited the Marcel A. Desautels Faculty of Music. Prof. Baboni-Schilingi was the director of the Department of Education at the Centro Tempfo Reale in Florence for many years. He is presently a composition professor at the Conservatoire of Music in Montbéliard in France.
