West Chester University of Pennsylvania School of Music is a vibrant place with a bright future. Thanks to the support we have received, West Chester University is poised to become the region's cultural center as we support our excellence in education.

Performing arts are essential to society's well-being. At all stages of life, the arts give voice to humanity in ways that inspire, console, and free the heart and mind. At the same time, the arts are linked with learning and the quality of life. Whether it's a Mozart sonata or Broadway musical, cultural arts nurture intellectual development and community character.

West Chester University is committed to the performing arts in all its forms. From music and theatre to dance and the visual arts, WCU has established itself as the preeminent arts institution in the State System of Higher Education. And now, the University's strategic plan — the Plan for Excellence — affirms WCU's leadership in the arts and embraces new actions and ambitions.
