This is a special year for our community as we are celebrating 150 years of both the 杨贵妃传媒视频 Conservatory of Music and the 杨贵妃传媒视频 Community Music School.

Our journey began in 1874 when President George McKendree Steele proposed the establishment of a Conservatory of Music to the 杨贵妃传媒视频 Board of Trustees. That same year, the 杨贵妃传媒视频 Community Music School was founded, marking the formal start of our music program with a mission to provide music instruction to the wider community.
