Proposed New Programs? Suggestions?

cbbohio
cbbohio over 4 years ago

I'm a veteran of 25 plus Road Scholar Programs -- all of which I have enjoyed (some more so than others).  My recommendation is a forum for participants  to suggest possible new programs to be offered by Road Scholar.  On my last program (In the Footsteps of Lewis & Clark from Missouri to Oregon), several of us discussed possible programs that it would be great if Road Scholar would consider.  Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a mechanism to communicate this to Road Scholar -- hence, this topic in the discussion forum.  

Several of  us on my last program were kicking around ideas for new programs.  The one that most of us thought would be excellent would be one focused on Historic Route 66.  A couple of others that I would like to see offered are:

1) offerings focused on the state of Oklahoma (there is an excellent program that I did a couple of years ago focused on Essential Arkansas) -- it would be great if there were similar offerings for some of the other less well-known states - Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, etc..

2)  more offerings on the US presidents - I've completed the program in Ohio and Virginia focused on the Presidents.  It would be great if there was a program focused on the New England presidents (the two Adams, JFK in Boston, Coolidge in Vermont and Pierce in New Hampshire) or other presidents.

3) the Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona

4) other less known / popular national parks

Fellow scholars, what would you like to suggest to Road Scholar to consider for future offerings?  Please chime in.  Also, it would be greatt if Road Scholar developed a discussion group to offer suggestions for new programs, modifications to existing programs, etc.

Comments? Ideas?

    I would love to see a cycle of programs that would take participants to two or three of the world's greatest concert halls (for classical music) each year. The program can change from year to year in order to cover them all and eventually repeat the cycle.

    I would be interested in zen012501's suggestion concerning a cycle of trips to world concert halls for classical music.
    In fact, VERY interested is probably a more accurate term.

    I would also be interested in a series of concerts in the spaces they were written for: Mozart in Salzberg, Corelli in Venice et al.

    Famous/greatest opera houses is another possibility.

    I like that idea too. Prefer with the mucus but without would work too.

    I agree! There are only 2 classical music Europe tours and the remainder are Summer music festivals. Cleveland, Chicago both great orchestras.
