ABOUT UNCSA

Established by the N.C. General Assembly in 1963, the North Carolina School of the Arts opened in Winston-Salem in 1965 as America’s first public arts conservatory. The school became part of the University of North Carolina system in 1972. Its mission is to train students for professional careers in the arts. The five conservatories (Dance, Design and Production, Drama, Filmmaking and Music) train aspiring artists from Freshman in High School to Post-Graduate Certificate Students.

ABOUT THE SCHOOL OF MUSIC

The School of Music offers a transformative conservatory experience that combines intensive individual study under artist mentors with a rich variety of performance opportunities – more than 200 recitals, concerts and operas each year, including collaborations with other UNCSA arts schools. Students attend weekly master classes taught by distinguished guest artists, rehearse and perform in state-of-the-art facilities and ‘gig’ as a professional musician in Winston-Salem.

In addition to our competitive music school undergraduate and graduate programs, we’re proud to offer one of the nation’s only four-year residential high school programs.
