These lectures are intended to appeal to those who appreciate carefully curated and thoughtfully presented courses delivered by experts in the various fields of literature, history, music, art, philosophy, economics, psychology, and political science.

What we do
The Frick Estate Lectures provides personal enrichment for mature adults who appreciate literature, art, music, history, philosophy, economics, psychology, and politics science. Our liberal arts disciplines deliberately exclude vocational or “how-to” subjects. These courses cater to all who are interested in non-credit enrichment taught year-round by outstanding experts in their fields. Students who attend the lectures enjoy an aesthetic experience at our elegant venue and a diverse learning opportunity that invigorates and
inspires them.
