I have also met so many amazing musicians from all over the world."

"Attending a conservatory of music has always been my dream. When I got accepted to attend Lynn University Conservatory of Music with a full scholarship I could not believe it. I would never be able to attend this fantastic conservatory without the Friends of the Conservatory support. Now I have the opportunity to receive a great music education from an excellent music faculty."

This is truly a special place to nurture one's talent and love for music, and it is only made possible through the generous support of our FOC. I cannot thank you enough, friends!"

"I chose Lynn Conservatory for my undergraduate studies because of the quality of instruction and the incredible support the school receives. Here I study with Elmar Oliveira, who is acclaimed worldwide for both his teaching and performing abilities. Thank you so much for your contribution to my education."

Wynton Grant, violin
B.A. '15

 

"Members of professional orchestras complete two or three degrees before they ever reach a skill level high enough that could be considered for employment by top level symphonies and schools. Coming to Lynn has allowed me to continue my studies with internationally renowned faculty while I study to prepare for professional auditions— instead of having to move back home and trying to support myself through the entire process. The FOC has made it financially possible for me to continue following my dreams of becoming a professional musician. Thank you so much!"
