About Us
SFCM's mission is to transform our students: artistically, intellectually, professionally and individually. Through the study of music at the highest level, our students learn to seek achievement in every endeavor, to convert challenges into opportunities, to understand the nature of excellence and to pursue their dreams with vigor and determination. We believe that inspiring the imagination, cultivating the artist, honing the intellect and developing the professional are the keys to launching innovative graduates who excel in any field.
SFCM loves to be at the center of good things happening in classical music: attracting the most creative musicians; students and alums doing incredible work ranging from landing positions at the world's top ensembles, to working at the intersection of music and technology in Silicon Valley, to starting their own organizations and even going to medical school; and offering additional programs locally and nationally like the Pre-College curriculum, the Rubin Institute for Music Criticism, and the new Center for Innovative Leadership. On top of this, SFCM recently opened the brand-new Bowes Center, which doubles the campus footprint, provides dorm room housing for the student body, brings state-of-the-art teaching facilities and three new performance halls to San Francisco's Civic Center arts corridor.
