NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR
As we enter the 2021-22 academic year, we have begun to shift back to the modes of learning and public performance that we took for granted until March 2020: meeting courses in classrooms, seeing students in person, and inviting audiences back into our concert halls. Parts of this have been very familiar and highly anticipated, and parts of this return have been very new, such as the care we now take to keep our performers and audiences as safe as possible.
The School of Music welcomes new faculty to its Music History, Music Education, and Instrumental Performance programs in the 2021-22 academic year.
The University of Washington Symphony Orchestra (David Rahbee, director) has been awarded the American Prize in Orchestral Performance, 2021, in the college university division (smaller program).
