We’re saddened to lose such a storied performing arts institution from among our ranks. University of the Arts holds a special place for its students, alumni, faculty, staff and the greater Philadelphia community. We know that you never anticipated growing as a performing artist anywhere other than UArts, and we hope you’ll feel at home and supported at Shenandoah University’s Shenandoah Conservatory.

In support of UArts students, we are waiving application fees for any current or incoming students. We are still accepting applications to most of our music programs and waiving auditions requirements for some programs. Application submissions to our dance and technical theatre design and production programs are on a case-by-case basis. Please contact the Office of Admissions for more information. https://www.su.edu/shenandoah-conservatory-is-whats-next-for-university-of-the-arts-students/

Exciting news!

Choral Ensembles: Songs of Nature Join the choral ensembles, under the direction of Richard W. Robbins and Hillary Ridgley, as they embark on a musical journey exploring the wonders of nature through a concert of choral gems that span a rich variety of traditions.

Join us THIS SATURDAY for a concert which will feature the Symphony Orchestra with Conservatory Choir, on Amy Beach’s luminous “The Canticle of the Sun”…..“This program features deep connections to great female figures and important female characters from stories inspired by their heroic deeds. It also showcases music rarely heard in Wi******er, from the amazing Amy Beach’s ‘The Canticle of the Sun’ to the virtuosic playing of ‘Scheherazade,’ which is rarely played by college orchestras.”
– Emanuele Andrizzi, Symphony Orchestra conductor

Don’t miss this special collaborative performance featuring the combined forces of the Symphony Orchestra and Conservatory Choir this Saturday evening! Tickets are still available at conservatoryperforms.org.

Dr. Robbins was honored to work with the exceptional chamber choir from James Wood High School, directed by Melissa Legge Mauck and accompanied by Michelle Camper. He had an incredible time with these talented individuals! 🎶
