What is it about a Boston Conservatory at Berklee education that lays the foundation for success in the performing arts and beyond?
Anyone who has studied at Boston Conservatory knows that the answer goes deeper than mastery of one's chosen art form. While most of our alums have built vibrant careers within the performing arts, others are thriving as technologists, doctors, teachers, politicians, entrepreneurs, lawyers, and as multihyphenate professionals.
The 2024 issue of STAGES takes a deep dive into what it is about a Conservatory education that equips students with future proof skills that form the core of one's individual identity and sense of purpose in the world.
Issue highlights:
Future Proof: From performers to politicians and dancers to doctors, alums attest to the transferable power of Boston Conservatory training.
Bridging Genres: Faculty member Anthony Barfield occupies a unique space in the music world-where the symphony hall meets the dance floor.
Preservation through Transformation: Reshaping conservatory education, one milestone at a time.
Machine Learning: Weighing AI's impact on performing arts education.
Somatic Intelligence: Alum Kate Gow examines the connections between dance and technology.
Tracing Our Past to Build a More Inclusive Future: Emmett G. Price III reflects on Boston Conservatory's founding principles and bringing Africana studies into its curriculum.
