The Frank Cooper Lecture Series is a special non-credit course for Lovers of Music produced by the Frost School of Music as an adult education course for the community. Tuition is generally $150 per person for each series of five or six lectures, and classes are held on select evenings from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Taught in a highly engaging style by musicologist Professor Frank Cooper, called “Miami’s cultural maven” by the Miami Herald, the lectures are presented in the comfortable Clarke Recital Hall at the L. Austin Weeks Center for Recording and Performance.  The hall features comfortable seating, excellent acoustics, and state-of-the-art technology.
