The University of South Carolina School of Music has established a national reputation for artistic and scholarly excellence. The school generates research and other creative activities in music that have local, national and international impact. The excellence of the school is a direct result of the resident faculty members who combine distinguished backgrounds as performers and scholars with a dedication to teaching.
USC music faculty perform regularly on campus, nationally and internationally in recitals and concerts; contribute to publications and professional organizations; and make presentations at regional, national and international conferences.
The USC School of Music serves as a cultural and educational center of excellence for the state of South Carolina and the nation. Faculty members and their students engage in community outreach activities by organizing and teaching workshops, classes, camps and clinics. The School of Music enriches the musical life of the university and the city by offering more than 300 concerts and recitals a year.
The USC Symphony Orchestra ranks with the finest university orchestras in the nation, and the USC Chamber Orchestra was featured in New York's Lincoln Center as a part of the Mozart Bicentennial Festival.
The USC School of Music has an exceptionally large and active student chapter of American String Teachers Association, which has an enrollment of 20-25 string education and performance majors at undergraduate and graduate levels. Elected officers and a faculty adviser guide the chapter through various professional, service and outreach activities. These include fundraisers and benefit concerts that provide members with important leadership experience. Many of our student chapter members and string faculty are presenters, performers and panel members at the association’s national conference each year, and USC won the association’s Outstanding Student Chapter Award in 2008.
