Residency & Enrichment Programs at the Fine Arts Center (2026–2027)

The Fine Arts Center is proud to provide students with exceptional opportunities to work alongside internationally recognized musicians through our Residency and Masterclass Programs. These experiences deepen musical understanding, broaden artistic perspectives, and inspire students as they prepare for collegiate study and professional careers in music.

Residency Programs

Each year, distinguished ensembles and solo artists spend time at the Fine Arts Center working closely with our students through rehearsals, chamber music coachings, masterclasses, and performances. Residencies culminate in a public concert and often include collaborative performances with FAC students.

These experiences are made possible through the generous support of the Peace Center and John and Jackie Warner, whose commitment to arts education continues to enrich the lives of our students.

Masterclasses

Throughout the school year, professional performers, educators, and guest artists visit the Fine Arts Center to present masterclasses and performances. These sessions provide students with valuable musical insights, individualized instruction, and exposure to a wide range of artistic perspectives.

FAC Alumni Engagement

Former FAC students regularly return to perform, teach, and mentor current students. Their visits offer encouragement, professional insight, and a meaningful connection between current students and the many successful alumni who have continued their musical journeys beyond the Fine Arts Center.

We are deeply grateful for these ongoing partnerships and for the generosity of our community, whose support makes these extraordinary educational experiences possible.
