Exceptional BU School of Music students shone brightly on stage at Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall!

The long-awaited event finally happened, and we’re still in awe. A group of student musicians from BU School of Music performed at Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall on March 2, 2022.

The concert was a special capstone experience for three graduating seniors, and also featured graduate students. The students were selected after participating in a competition last fall for the chance to perform at New York City’s renowned Carnegie Hall. After months and months of practice and rehearsals, these incredible BU musicians took to the stage that has hosted world-class, top-tier soloists and performing groups from prestigious musical organizations all around the globe.

Join us in congratulating all of the student performers!
