Music Conservatory
The students of CCPA study in the midst of Chicago's invigorating arts scene, and acquire additional experience through internships with nationally-known music companies. They watch world-renowned conductors lead the Chicago Symphony, enjoy outdoor performances at Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park, witness premieres of new works in Chicago's thriving contemporary music scene, and see American legends performing at the famous Jazz Showcase. Studying in the heart of one of the nation's greatest cities gives our students a leg up on creating a strong network of professional contacts and a head start on the career they envision.
