             The Oberlin Conservatory of Music, founded in 1865 and  
situated amid the intellectual vitality of Oberlin College since  
1867, is the oldest continuously operating conservatory in the United  
States. The Conservatory is renowned internationally as a  
professional music school of the highest caliber and has been  
pronounced a “national treasure” by the Washington Post. Oberlin’s  
alumni have gone on to achieve illustrious careers in all aspects of  
the serious music world. Many of them have attained stature as solo  
performers, composers, and conductors, among them Jennifer Koh,  
Steven Isserlis, Denyce Graves, Franco Farina, Christopher Robertson,  
Lisa Saffer, George Walker, Christopher Rouse, David Zinman, and  
Robert Spano. All of the members of the contemporary sextet eighth  
blackbird, most of the members of the International Contemporary  
Ensemble, and many of the members of Apollo’s Fire are Oberlin  
alumni. In chamber music, the Miró, Pacifica, Juillard, and Fry  
Street quartets, among other small ensembles, include Oberlin-trained  
musicians, who also can be found in major orchestras and opera  
companies throughout the world. For more information about Oberlin,
