Oldenburg Exchange Posted May 16, 2013 On May 18 twenty-five Towson University students and teachers will be leaving for Oldenburg, Germany. They will be working with the Institute for Music at Oldenburg University and seven students from Cuba; using music, percussion, and dance as a tool to explore the collaborative process between three very diverse cultures in the hopes of coming together to form one collective voice. This semester the class has been working to get ready for the trip. According to one of the students involved, Christy Senita, the class had several philosophical conversations about incredibly deep concepts such as, "what is love?" and, "what is time?" and has worked to gain both a more universal appreciation of these concepts, as well as, exploring their own personal thoughts and emotional reactions to these concepts. The group will return on June 6th and in September students and teachers from the Institute for Music at Oldenburg University will travel to Towson.
