“This merger is a bold step into the future of performing arts education. As we bring
together the superb performing arts disciplines of The Boston Conservatory and Berklee,
we expect our students will draw upon global cultures and cutting-edge technologies to
synthesize completely new art forms. The Conservatory has been pioneering music,
dance, and theater education for nearly 150 years, and as part of the new Berklee, we
are creating a dynamic institution that will provide students with access to worldwide
opportunities in performance and related fields that is without peer.”
—David Scott Sloan, Chairman, Boston Conservatory Board of Trustees
“From our first discussions with the Conservatory leadership, we have felt a kinship
around shared responsibility to our students and the future of the performing arts.
Aligning with the Conservatory allows all of us to envision and then to create a combined
institution that will give students a broad array of innovative tools. We intend to collectively
invest in the new Berklee—regardless of discipline, program, or genre—and hope to
create significant artistic breakthroughs. We see tremendous opportunities for all of
our students to benefit from our combined resources, in a powerful new model of
21st-century performing arts training.”
—Jeff Shames, Chair, Berklee Board of Trustees
Today'’s historic event is named “Let’s Dance” as an expression of partnership and
celebration, and as an homage to 1999 Berklee honorary degree recipient David Bowie.
