“It is rare to find a school where the musicians and conductors are comfortable performing conservative orchestral music as well as contemporary music written within the last decade. On top of this, there is a relaxed atmosphere for learning at Hartt that encourages constructive criticism and camaraderie between colleagues and faculty. My decision to go to Hartt was one that has led me to a successful path in music, and I am glad that I chose to attend school there.”
