USC Thornton Early Music

USC Thornton Early Music Welcome! This page is a way to stay connected with the happenings of the USC Thornton Early Music Pr

Over the past several decades, the performance of early music has evolved from a highly specialized activity into a major facet of professional music making to which an ever-increasing, international audience has responded. The profession of early music involves its specialists in a broad range of activities: Solo and ensemble performance, research and writing, program-planning, the preparation of

performing editions and historically-informed arrangements, and ensemble direction and teaching, to mention some of the main ones. The aim of the two graduate degree programs in early music performance is to immerse majors in all of these activities and to insure that graduates leave the USC-Thornton School with sufficient knowledge and expertise to begin careers in the profession of early music, whether in the US or abroad.
