The Music Program

The music program at SFSU brings together professional classical performers, active jazz artists, and internationally recognized composers, historians, and music educators to provide a superb learning experience. Located in San Francisco right on public transportation, our urban campus is just minutes from symphony, opera, ballet, and chamber music venues as well as downtown jazz clubs.

On campus, students can focus on their own specialty or take advantage of ensembles of all kinds: jazz combos, symphony, band, world music ensemble, three classical choirs and a jazz vocal ensemble, big band, operas, and chamber music. Professional artists, such as our string quartet in residence, the renowned , and our new-music ensemble in residence, , join students and faculty in performing nearly 200 concerts per season in our large hall, McKenna Theatre, or our chamber music venue, Knuth Hall.

The School of Music and Dance offers an extensive variety of degrees: undergraduate professional degrees in classical and jazz performance, composition, music education, music history; Liberal Arts programs in world music and jazz, electronic music, music history, and classical music; and graduate degrees in classical performance, chamber music, conducting, music education, music history, and composition.
