Boston, Massachusetts, United States
New England Conservatory educates and trains musicians of all ages from around the world, drawing on the talent and deep reservoir of experience of our distinguished faculty. We are dedicated to inculcating the highest standards of excellence and nurturing individual artistic sensibility and creative growth. 

History

Founded in Boston, Massachusetts in 1867 by Eben Tourjée, NEC created a new model of conservatory that combined the best of European tradition with American innovation. NEC is at the center of Boston’s rich cultural history and musical life offering concerts performed in NEC’s renowned venue Jordan Hall. 

Education

NEC offers degree and diploma programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels in performance and composition. At the graduate level, we also offer conducting, collaborative piano, music theory, musicology, and vocal pedagogy. 

Career

In 2018, it is highly advantageous for a professional musician or an organization made up of professional musicians, to have the skills to plan for and carry out a fundraising campaign. In fact, building a career on the strength of a thoughtfully cultivated web of relationships is increasingly becoming essential in the 21st century as the security provided by large institutions is dwindles.
