Spotlights
Alumna Janet Gamber (MM ’07, violin performance) is a first violinist with the Reading Symphony Orchestra (Pennsylvania) and a software consultant. Exemplifying the College of Music’s mission to develop multiskilled, multifaceted universal musicians, Gamber says her musical training taught her how to break down complicated concepts into “digestible pieces”—a technique she applies to building software products, as well.
Alumna Indigo Fischer (BM ’19, flute performance + Arts Administration micro-credential) balances being a flutist with her role as artistic operations manager at the Music Academy of the West. “Developing a holistic skillset is a necessary requirement in the current musical landscape. Pursuing a broad education actually helps you specialize because it gives you opportunities to explore and discover what is best suited to you. A degree in music at a well-rounded institution such as CU Boulder gives you transferable skills for many different career paths,” she says.
