Canisius Adult Lifelong Learners Institute (CALLI) is pleased to announce our new fall 2024 course: What is a Symphony?
Lead by Mason Cancilla, this six-week course will delve into a centuries-old musical template that is still used today. We will attempt to answer the question: “What is this mysterious art form and how do I listen to it?”
The course will look at musical form, instrumentation and how the modern orchestra evolved. This course is in-person on campus in SH 1017 and begins October 1 at 2:00 p.m. See the attached poster or our website for details.

Join the Canisius Adult Lifelong Learning Institute (CALLI) for its fall 2024 book club.
On Thursday, October 17, at 1:30 p.m., we will discuss the Eric H. Cline’s “1177 BC: The Year Civilization Collapsed” (2014).
Near the beginning of the 12th century BC, many kingdoms and civilizations of the eastern Mediterranean began to decline. Some disappeared from history. For a long time, archaeologists blamed a mysterious invasion force known as The Sea Peoples as the cause of this mass collapse. What really happened? Join us as we look at this book.
We will meet in Old Main 219. Bring your lunch and join the conversation.
