About the Colburn Conservatory of Music

The Conservatory of Music opened in 2003 with one goal: to train the very highest level of classical instrumental performers for careers in music. Outstanding performance opportunities; unparalleled faculty; and scholarships covering tuition, room, and board for all students allow the Conservatory to produce dynamic young soloists, chamber groups, and orchestral musicians.

 

Since its founding, the Conservatory has established a record of producing musicians that find success in the highly-competitive classical music world. Alumni hold positions with many of the world’s premiere orchestras, including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Boston Symphony Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, London Philharmonic, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and National Symphony Orchestra. In addition to national and local competitions, students have placed in international competitions including the Tchaikovsky, Fritz Kreisler, Rubinstein, Jacques Lancelot, Queen Elisabeth, Prague Spring, and ARD Munich Competitions.
