Student Perspective
“People are super involved here, and that culture is really inspiring and forces me to get outside of my comfort zone.”

Music Tour with a Mission | This is Lawrence
Presto went to Houston! Lawrence visited high schools, worked with community organizations, and performed a one-night-only concert.
Con Couches
Conservatory students gather on these comfy couches to hang out, chat, study, and of course play music.
Studio Culture
Regardless of your academic degree pursuit, the viola studio welcomes violists looking to grow in their musicality. Serving you as both inspiration and a support system, learning from your fellow violists is a strong component of the viola program. The honest and genuine support of the studio is celebrated by viola students, who are all encouraged to forge an individualized path to their own artistry.
Mindful Movement
Maximize your potential as an artist and performer through balance and efficient movement. Explore the Alexander Technique through classes or independent study.
The Power of Collaboration
What happens when you combine a world-class conservatory with a world-class college? An unmatched undergraduate musical education. At Lawrence, the Conservatory and College experiences are intertwined. Multiple degree options let you be your own muse by connecting your musical passions with your academic interests.
Put a little LOVE in your heart
Lawrence’s Own Viola Ensemble (LOVE), either as one large ensemble or smaller groups of viola students, performs everything from 17th-century works to contemporary pieces both on and off campus. And that's in addition to other ensembles like orchestras, bands, and chamber groups.
