“The School of Music’s participation in the 2017 Sousa Festival placed MSU into conversation with some of our country’s best musical ensembles,” said Royce Smith, dean of the MSU College of Arts and Architecture. “Our students and faculty also showcased a quintessentially Montana program, playing a beautiful Sousa march alongside a world-premiere piece composed by MSU music professor Greg Young, which featured the sounds of bugling elk. The new work was arranged by music education major Joseph Dresen, who did this as his senior undergraduate research project. With (MSU’s) President, Waded Cruzado, representatives of the Cuban Embassy in Washington and several university delegates in attendance, MSU took the Kennedy Center by storm and showed what a world-class program we have in music and the arts here in Bozeman.”

The Institute will assist teams of 3-5 faculty and administrators to develop transformative opportunities for Undergraduate Research, Scholarship, and Creativity (URSC) in the arts and humanities.
