Overview

A strong sense of community is built through weekly studio classes, which provide solo performance opportunities and a forum to discuss topics such as orchestral and operatic excerpts, performance anxiety, teaching strategies, effective practicing, and audience engagement.

Students also benefit from an active artist-in-residence program, with recent master classes by Chicago Symphony Orchestra concertmaster Robert Chen, Grammy-nominated flutist Brandon Patrick George, and tenor Rafael Davila, a Butler School alumnus and regular performer with the Metropolitan Opera.

Key Facts

The UT Symphony Orchestra holds an annual Concerto Competition; brass, wind and percussion, string, and piano students can compete to play as a concerto soloist with the orchestra in one of the season’s concerts. The Performance BM program is offered at University of Texas at Austin.
