About Us

SFCM's mission is to transform our students: artistically, intellectually, professionally and individually. Through the study of music at the highest level, our students learn to seek achievement in every endeavor, to convert challenges into opportunities, to understand the nature of excellence, and to pursue their dreams with vigor and determination. We believe that inspiring the imagination, cultivating the artist, honing the intellect, and developing the professional are the keys to launching innovative graduates who excel in any field. SFCM is located in the heart of one of the world's most innovative and diverse cities and is home to a vibrant academic community of students and faculty who achieve excellence in their fields.

SFCM recently acquired Opus 3 Artists, Pentatone, and Askonas Holt, establishing the conservatory as the only institution paired with two leading artist management companies and a legendary recording label. The new initiatives of this network created the Artist Apprentice Program as well as numerous artist-led residencies and campus engagements, creating innovative and distinctive programs for today's top global artists and the students and faculty of SFCM. In addition to its novel programs in Technology and Applied Composition and Roots, Jazz, and American Music, the school forged educational alliances with the San Francisco Symphony, Opera, and Ballet, the SFJAZZ Center, Skywalker Studios, SONY, and numerous companies in Silicon Valley. SFCM also works to increase representation in the arts, including a collaboration with the San Francisco Symphony for the Emerging Black Composers Project—a ten-year engagement program to spotlight early-career Black American composers and their music—and the Denis de Coteau Fellowship with SF Ballet which provides funding, instruction, and performance opportunities for musicians with diverse backgrounds.
