Together the students, faculty, and staff are going beyond the concert hall to create purpose driven concerts and events in the community and utilizing music as the bridge. As a society we are experiencing isolation and disconnected living through a global pandemic in addition to immense suffering felt from the inequality and inequity of liberty that must be available to all Americans.

The UofSC School of Music has come together as one entity – students, faculty and staff –  to use music as a vehicle for uniting our communities, amplifying voices, celebrating heroes and spurring our future.

These are the four bridges we have identified as some of our own distances that need reevaluating and rebuilding both internally within our field and externally as we engage with society at large.
