Welcome to The Boston Conservatory!

We at the Conservatory are dedicated to the education and training of a new generation of performing artists in music, theater, and dance. Students will find in our midst rigorous programs designed to maximize their potential and assure that, on graduation, they will be professionally ready—that is, they will possess the skills and have the discipline and courage essential to surviving in a very competitive arena.

Central to our student's experience at The Boston Conservatory is their immersion in a truly multi-disciplinary environment. Some fine schools have excellent music, or theater, or dance programs. We have all three. And we structure the intensive work our students do in ways that maximize, wherever possible, the benefits of multi-disciplinary collaborations.

Within this web site prospective and current students may access information concerning programs, faculty, curricula, courses, performance opportunities, academic policies, the Conservatory Library, and even our special summer programs. Prospective students may also find their way to the Admissions section for detailed information on how to apply, campus visits, the cost of a Conservatory education, financial aid opportunities, etc.

I sincerely hope that your most important questions will be answered in these pages. If they are not, then we welcome your questions.

Michael Nash, Ph.D.
Dean of the Conservatory
