Performing Arts College Nights

Calling all performing artists! Have you considered pursuing music, theatre, or dance in college? If so, you've probably found yourself asking questions such as… 

• What is expected of me in the audition?
• How can I choose the right program, degree, or teacher? 
• What the heck is a "pre-screen?" 
• How can I earn merit scholarships?
• What is a career in the arts really like?

These questions are not always addressed in typical college readiness presentations, so we invite you to join us at a College Night in your area! The Colorado Performing Arts College Nights are a collaboration between arts admissions professionals from across the state. Our goal is to equip you with the practical knowledge you'll need to pursue your dreams. 

Each FREE event will include an Admissions 101 presentation by Andrew Ferdig (University of Denver) and Jalen Lee (University of Colorado Boulder); a Q&A session; an overview of the top performing arts programs in Colorado; and a college fair featuring those arts programs. Presenters are proud members of the Music Admissions Roundtable.
