My goal is to make SFCM—the school we love— a place where diverse voices are heard, represented, and embraced. ”

Your Voice Matters
A Diverse Musical Community
SFCM is committed to raising all voices. We champion the experiences of people who identify across spectrums of gender, sexual orientation, and race and integrate these experiences into our curriculum and performances.
From our Black Student Union and Pride Network to our eclectic student-led Moonlight Society, and our Hiking and Environmentalism club, our student groups provide safe spaces for musicians of all kinds.
Our Emerging Black Composers Project is a 10-year commitment to commission Black artists while providing them with mentorship and the opportunity to premiere new works at major orchestras. In a partnership with the SF Ballet, the Denis de Coteau Fellowship also advances opportunities for Black musicians by providing tuition, housing, stipends, and performance experiences.
