PERFORMING ARTS
Conservatory alumni continue to flourish
The HARID Conservatory was founded in 1987 to provide professional training for gifted musicians from around the world. In 1999, the HARID Music Conservatory became part of Lynn University and set the stage for what is now the Lynn University Conservatory of Music, providing some of the most talented young musicians in the nation with the opportunity to shape their skill set and define their aspirations. Thanks to their talent, dedication and well-rounded training experience acquired from many different programs, mentors and colleges around the world, conservatory alumni continue to flourish in their field. And faculty and staff are proud to have played a part in their musical development.
