The University of Maryland School of Music is dedicated to offering undergraduate and graduate musicians conservatory-caliber training, while emphasizing the importance of the combined scholar, performer, educator, and arts advocate in the 21st century. These musicians, in turn, contribute vitally to the enrichment of the present culture, the preservation of our artistic heritage, and to the stimulation of new creative expression for the future. Your support helps us to recruit and retain the finest young musicians and scholars from the State of Maryland and across the nation, and to prepare them for the dynamic professional realm.
