This Week at the College of Music: Community Edition - Dec. 8, 2020

The Year in Review: Kicking off the Centennial

Back in January, before we knew what 2020 had in store for us, the College of Music launched its Centennial year with a dazzling showcase concert in Grusin Hall. It was a marquee evening that stands as a reminder of what we awaits us after we weather this storm: Artistry and discovery—together. Relive the kickoff concert in this photo gallery.
