A Note From the Dean
At the Baylor School of Music, excellence is more than a tradition—it’s a calling. We are proud to present our 2025–2026 New Beginnings season, a celebration of artistry, faith, and the remarkable talents of our students and faculty. This year’s performances reflect our vibrant creativity, discipline, and passion.
We’re especially excited to introduce our new Showcase Series—a dynamic gateway into the full breadth of music at Baylor. From intimate recitals and chamber works to jazz, major ensemble concerts and appearances by world-class artists and distinguished scholars, this season reflects the rich tapestry of music and scholarship that defines the Baylor School of Music and invites you to explore it with us.
To our dedicated patrons, alumni, and friends: thank you. Your continued support nurtures the next generation of artists, educators, and scholars—leaders whose impact will echo far beyond our campus.
There’s never been a better time to experience the Baylor School of Music. Explore the full season and join us for a year of new beginnings, timeless beauty, and unforgettable performances.
