Welcome from the President

Welcome to The Boston Conservatory!

It is my pleasure and honor to welcome you to The Boston Conservatory, an extraordinary community of passionate and talented musicians, dancers and actors. At The Boston Conservatory, we strive to offer a learning environment that is as encouraging as it is challenging… and we pride ourselves on preparing and inspiring our students to perform at the highest level in their art and in their lives.

Our parents and families play a key role in our community and in our mission. As parents, you understand the dedication and sacrifice required to pursue a performing arts education. I’ve often said that the education of our students is the single most important responsibility we have, not just for the preservation of the performing arts we treasure, but for fueling and sharing our sense of wonder and for releasing and expanding the possibilities of the human spirit. I am grateful to be part of this community and to share this responsibility with all of you.

I look forward to seeing you at Family & Friends Weekend (October 21–23) and throughout the academic year.

Sincerely,

Richard Ortner
President, The Boston Conservatory
