Conservatory

As a conservatory of international stature, we aim to be the destination of choice for students seeking artistic and pedagogical excellence, training that is enhanced through community-centered learning, and research and creativity in the integrated performing arts. Situated within an urban research university in Kansas City, we collaborate with our local and campus partners to engage in work unique to this region as we pursue a global understanding of how the arts improve lives.

Conservatory students will enter a world with endless possibilities for pursuing their passion in the arts. Whether they lean toward performance-related careers in music, theatre and dance or want to pursue other avenues in media, music education, music therapy, or theatre design and production - Conservatory students need YOUR support to follow their dreams!
