High school students are invited to embark on their college exploration journey at our College Advisory event, led by HBMS Dean Christopher Kenniff. Gain valuable insights from guest speaker Barbra Weidlein, an authority on university, conservatory, and liberal arts music programs. The event also includes panels featuring college admissions officers and HB alumni who will discuss their experiences with preparing for college, the application and audition process, and studying music at the university level.
