NEW LIFE

Three weeks into the fall semester, and things are rolling along smoothly and busily here at the Conservatory of Music. The new life, of course, refers to the 82 new freshmen that we are so excited about, including a pianist from Bangkok and three vocalists from Arizona. It's fun to watch the ebb and flow of the Conservatory community as some students graduate and new students arrive; yet the over-arching commitment to excellence in music and performance continues.

New life includes our new faculty: Andreas Metz, music theory; David Brockett, horn; Anna Maria D'Antonio, dance; Amy Hall, voice, and Boyd Mackus, voice. There are 68 artist faculty educating and supporting our 320 music majors.

The addition of our Conservatory annex (UCC Church) has brought new life because of the new opportunities for usable space! Though renovation and new construction lies in the future; the annex is supplying additional rehearsal, teaching, and studio space.

Last but not least is the celebration of new life to be for our Conservatory Office manager, Shannon Fujimura. She and her husband Dylan will welcome their new baby soon; but we took the opportunity to celebrate today.

Wishing you the very best as you find ways to breathe new life into your work and daily routines.
