Saint Vincent College Concert Series

Mission Statement

Many institutions of higher learning as well as houses of worship have a concert series. These concert series vary in their vision and mission: some are the result of a generous bequest; others serve to showcase an important musical instrument (a concert grand piano or pipe organ) and still others are centered around an architecturally significant performance space. These are certainly valid reasons, however, the most important reason for such a series is people. In a world that is fractured and broken, the arts can restore and unify. Music is the lingua franca of all the world’s peoples.

  • The Saint Vincent College Concert Series is dedicated to enriching the local community by presenting outstanding musical performances and fostering connections between music and academic excellence.
  • Through a dynamic lineup of artists and genres, we seek to foster a vibrant cultural environment, promote artistic expression, and create memorable experiences that bring students, faculty, and the local community together. These performers are “teaching artists” – those individuals who engage with the audience and use their music to teach and enrich, not just entertain.
  • Our series fosters a love for the arts, supports emerging and established artists, and provides students with unique opportunities to engage with and appreciate a wide range of musical genres.
  • This series is committed to showcasing the exceptional talent and artistry of our distinguished music faculty. Our mission is to provide a platform for faculty members to share their passion for music with students, colleagues, and the broader community.
  • Through this series, we aim to inspire a love for music, encourage artistic growth, and build confidence in our students by providing a supportive and dynamic platform for students to present their work, develop their performance skills, and gain valuable experience in a performance setting.
