This Week at the College of Music: Community Edition - Sept. 30, 2021

Dean's Downbeat

"As I reexamine and redefine College of Music-relevant metrics for leadership with open eyes--to expand student and faculty diversity and representation, strengthen student-centered innovation, better support the development of our dedicated pedagogues, and rethink our programming, repertoire and other activities through the lens of inclusivity--I’m unflinchingly confident that the future of artistry lives here. And that our collective recovery--emphasizing transparency, empathy, and mental and physical well-being with every step--is a springboard to a brighter, more beautiful future." Learn more about Dean John Davis' perspective on the future of artistry at the College of Music--thanks, in part, to the features and functionalities of our expanded Imig Music Building--as well as his vision for developing the "universal musician."
