Woodwinds - Bassoon - Hero

Two faculty members (who also perform with the San Francisco Symphony) lead a department devoted to exploring the full potential of the instrument. As a bassoon student, you'll not only have the chance to perform in traditional orchestral and chamber settings, but also experience the Baroque Ensemble and outlets for the contrabassoon. You’ll also be able to enter the biennial Woodwind Concerto Competition, the winner of which receives a solo performance opportunity with the Conservatory Orchestra.

Industry Alliances to Support Students and Artists

In recent years, SFCM acquired two leading artist management companies and an iconic record label to reimagine how elements of the music industry can better integrate to advance the human experience through music. For students, that means more opportunities to interact with touring artists and industry experts–including professional development workshops, side-by-side performances, and enhanced masterclasses.
