Join us in celebrating the achievements of the talented artists participating in the College of Music’s annual Celebrating the Spectrum program—a weeklong piano festival designed for musicians on the autism spectrum. This culminating concert showcases their growth and creativity through inspiring performances that reflect a week of learning, connection, and musical exploration. It’s a heartfelt conclusion to a powerful week—and a chance for the public to applaud and support these remarkable young performers.
