NICEVILLE — The names participants will encounter during Northwest Florida State College’s “Walking in the Footsteps of Great Composers and Artists” tour glide off the tongue in a cavalcade of cultural bliss.
The May 7-18, 2016 trip is the latest in humanities professor David Simmons and art history professor Ann Waters’ escorted tours to the seats of celebrated Western culture. “Over the last years, I’ve had students say, ‘If you have another tour, we want to go,” Simmons said. “Now the time’s right to do another one.”
He said the trip's small group of students and adults, limited to 22 participants, forms a tightly knit family, with each generation learning from the other.
“It’s like our trips to Noirmoutier,” Simmons said of NWFSC’s biennial performance trips to Crestview’s French sister city. “This sort of experience really does change lives, especially if you’ve never been out of the country before.”
Here is a glimpse of some of the planned stops:
