CEC in the Community

Conchita Espinosa Conservatory of the Arts is blessed to have high-level professional faculty who are artists with a vocation for pedagogy. Many faculty members and alumni are active performing artists within the community, giving CEC students the unique opportunity to support and witness their teachers and former CEC students practicing their art. 

Thanks to our strong reputation in preparing students with excellent technique, professionalism and artistry in an age-appropriate manner, each year CEC is proudly invited to participate in a number of community performances, workshops, and other learning opportunities that extend beyond the studio. Stepping outside the campus and participating in community engagements in collaboration with other young artists and professional entities provides students with exceptional learning moments and contributes to their formation as young artists who are prepared to take the stage, are adaptable, flexible, and open to new experiences and audiences.
