At Dickinson, students—such as Chelsea-Mia Pierre '18, pictured above—participate directly in a rigorous curriculum that challenges them to expand their cultural understanding of music and develop their analytical and performance skills, regardless of their previous level of study or musical interests.

Led by a talented and acclaimed roster of educators, our faculty have trained at the finest musical institutions in the world, including Juilliard, Eastman, Peabody, the New England Conservatory and the Hartt School. They have also performed throughout the world with such ensembles as the Glenn Miller Band, the Seville Opera, the Marion Anderson String Quartet and the United States Navy and Marine bands.

In our classrooms and ensembles, students learn alongside award-winning scholars, authors, composers and performers who have been recognized for their outstanding contributions to the field. Our faculty have held national leadership positions within their respective fields, won national and international competitions and headlined programs ranging from National Public Radio and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra to the contemporary Bang on a Can Festival.

But the heart of the program is our students, a passionate community of majors and non-majors critically involved in the humanistic art of music and its myriad social, cultural and analytical contexts. Their energy and drive are visible throughout the Weiss Center, in our rehearsals and performance studios, our classrooms and seminars and in the beautiful acoustic setting of Rubendall Recital Hall. Perhaps that's why our alumni have consistently been selected for prestigious internships, international fellowships, young artist programs and graduate programs.
