Our Mission
Credo develops young musicians — musically, personally, and spiritually — to prepare them for lives of music and service.
Develop the Gift
Credo offers challenging and rewarding musical training opportunities, taught by some of the finest faculty in the classical music world. Students are immersed in the study and performance of important works from the classical music canon and are challenged to meet high expectations. Our programs help develop these young musicians into future leaders of the classical music world.
Acknowledge the Source
The Credo experience goes well beyond technical development, to challenging and encouraging the whole person. Each day at Credo begins with Morning Sing, a devotional time led from a Christian perspective, where a faculty member shares how their faith in God has helped them navigate the deep waters of personal and professional life. This act of acknowledging and giving glory back to God sets the Credo program apart from other high-level programs and creates a meaningful mentorship environment. Students of all faiths find Credo a welcoming and compassionate environment.
Respond with Service
Students devote one day per week to volunteering at local nonprofits and performing for those who do not have access to the arts – audiences in hospices, nursing homes, prisons, low-income housing projects, and inner-city youth centers. By serving marginalized communities with labor and music, both students and audiences realize their shared humanity.
