Changing Lives Through The Power Of The Arts

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the 2023-24 artistic season at the Bower School of Music & the Arts. I am honored to share with you our exciting schedule of musical performances, theatrical productions, art exhibitions, and special events taking place on the FGCU campus and in our community. The outstanding level of talent, the boldness of creative vision, and the variety of exceptional performances strengthen our reputation as a place of artistic and academic excellence. We are particularly excited about the plans to expand our facilities and the fundraising campaign to raise the necessary funds to increase the instructional space of the Bower School of Music. I invite you to review our fundraising plans on page 38 and encourage you to join our campaign by donating to support this ambitious cause. Now is the time to set the stage for the future, where you play an integral part in enriching the lives of our students and leading the artistic growth of our institution.

There is so much to experience during this artistic season. The wealth of cultural activities reflects our ongoing pursuit of excellence and the vital role the Bower School of Music & the Arts plays in the cultural life of FGCU and Southwest Florida.

We hope to see you on campus, we count on your support, and we thank you for being an integral part of our artistic journey. With warm welcome,
