Greetings from the Interim Dean
It is an honor to serve as the Interim Dean of the University of Louisville School of Music, a place where music is not only studied and performed, but embedded in the heart of our students, staff and faculty.
The School of Music is a place where a vibrant community of students whose creativity, energy and passion are nothing short of inspiring. It is exciting to witness their growth as performers, composers, scholars and leaders. They are the heartbeat of this school, and they light our way forward.
Our faculty, internationally recognized artists, pedagogues and researchers, are shaping the future of music through their scholarship, performance and teaching. Their contributions resonate well beyond our campus, influencing the field on a global scale while remaining deeply committed to mentoring the next generation of musicians.
The School of Music’s rich history has built a foundation through decades of artistic excellence and academic rigor, from distinguished alumni to landmark performances, and from celebrated faculty to impactful community partnerships.
As we move through this interim period, one thing is certain: the future is incredibly bright. We are charting a dynamic path forward — one that honors our traditions while embracing new ideas and bold possibilities.
Whether you are a life-time supporter or a first-time visitor, we welcome you to our community. We invite you to come and experience the extraordinary artistry and spirit of the University of Louisville School of Music.
