The University of Washington School of Music celebrated its 2020 graduates on June 12 with a virtual Grand Finale Celebration.
Of the 54 graduates in the UW Music Class of 2020, 28 earned doctoral or master’s degrees and 26 earned bachelor’s degrees in a variety of music programs. Five undergraduates also earned second degrees in music or other areas of the University, including Societies, Law, and Justice; Economics, History, and English.
The school’s virtual celebration included a watch party for a celebratory video compiled by School of Music audio engineer Gary Louie with help from visual design specialist Cory Hiraiwa and other School of Music staff members. The video, including photographs, memories, tributes, and performances submitted by School of Music students and faculty, may be viewed on the School of Music YouTube Channel through Summer Quarter 2020.
Congratulations, Graduates!
