BOSTON UNIVERSITY SPOTLIGHT (2023)

March 21, 2023

Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall • New York City

Boston University College of Fine Arts School of Music was thrilled to host the Boston University Spotlight 2023 Concert at New York City’s renowned Carnegie Hall on March 21, 2023. The Weill Recital Hall concert featured a select group of seniors in a unique capstone experience for their final undergraduate semester, along with an exceptional cohort of graduate music students.

We celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the BU School of Music this year by doing what we do best: perform, teach, lecture, compose, write, think, and practice. Bringing our finest students to Carnegie Hall each spring is a commitment to an ongoing culture of excellence. We are artists at BU, and we were born to create.

–Gregory Melchor-Barz, Director of BU School of Music and Professor of Ethnomusicology
