The UofSC School of Music community responds to social and cultural challenges with
an initiative to reinvigorate our purpose as artist-citizens within and beyond the
concert hall.
As a society we are experiencing isolation and disconnected living through a global
pandemic in addition to immense suffering felt from the inequality and inequity of
liberty that must be available to all Americans. The UofSC School of Music has come
together as one entity – students, faculty and staff – to use music as a vehicle
for uniting our communities, amplifying voices, celebrating heroes and spurring our future. These are the four bridges we have identified as some of our own distances that need
reevaluating and rebuilding both internally within our field and externally as we
engage with society at large.
