Welcome to the CU Boulder College of Music

From the early days of Macky Auditorium to the dawning of a new era in the expanded Imig Music Building, the history of music at the University of Colorado Boulder has been rich and interwoven with that of the surrounding community. Professor Emeritus Thomas Riis and College of Music students reflect on the first 100 years of music at CU Boulder and what the next century could hold as the college celebrates its Centennial.

To equip today’s music students with the skills and tools they need to create sustainable careers in the arts, the Entrepreneurship Center for Music offers courses, workshops, an entrepreneurship certificate and more.

Check us out on YouTube.
