May 19, 2021: Concordia Conservatory's Summer Programs begin in June and the Conservatory has also announced its 2021-22 school year offerings.  The Conservatory is having an open house on Sunday, June 13, from 3:30–5:00 pm. The Open House will be at the Conservatory (172 White Plains Road in Bronxville). It will include student and faculty performances, tours of the school, and an opportunity to meet and mingle with faculty, staff, and students. The event is free and open to the public.

Under the supervision of Concordia Conservatory Executive Director Kathleen Suss since 1997, Concordia Conservatory offers music programs for early childhood, youth, and adult students and audiences from the Southern Westchester community and beyond. 

Concordia Conservatory's mission is to inspire, instruct, and enrich lives through music, offering excellence in education and performance. The Conservatory is an accredited member of the National Guild of Community Arts Educators and a founding member of the Royal Conservatory Program.

The Conservatory brings music to all people regardless of age, ability, ethnicity, or financial situation and serves as a music education resource for Westchester and Fairfield Counties.  See video here.

The Conservatory is staffed with a highly accomplished faculty of teaching and performing artists. It offers private music instruction in all instruments, including voice, group and chamber music, music theory, ear-training, composition and songwriting, musical theatre classes, an annual tuition-free musical theatre production, early childhood music classes, summer camps, concert series, and an Honors Academy (pre-college) program. Concordia Conservatory's exemplary programs embrace vitality and the development of artistry at every age, phase, and level and are dedicated to helping each student realize his or her full potential. The diverse faculty of 40 and student population enrollment of 1,200 students of all ages represent over 20 countries.
