Bio
Every year, SMTD offers a vast array of performances in every discipline. Over 900 student performances take place during the academic year in our celebrated concert halls and theatres, and in our intimate recital halls. Each performance features artists at the beginning of their careers, before they go on to be recognized at the national level in their field. SMTD performances do far more than just provide curricular opportunities to students. They provide invaluable cultural enrichment to the community.
All revenue generated from ticket sales goes toward creating further educational performance opportunities for SMTD students.
