About The Ohio State University and Columbus: The Ohio State University has
demonstrated a commitment to the arts through the creation of a new Arts District that links the historic Oval to bustling High
Street. The Arts District includes the new Timashev Family Music Building,
which opened in Autumn 2022, as well as a new adjacent facility for the
Department of Theatre, Film, and Media Arts. By bringing the various Arts units
into an attractive, coherent, and accessible space, the Arts District will
facilitate interdisciplinary creative and scholarly work, curricular
innovation, and community engagement. The School of Music is part of the College of
Arts and Sciences, the academic heart of the university. The College includes
38 departments, 20+ world-class research centers and more than 2,000 faculty
and staff members. The University has recently undertaken a revision of its
General Education requirements, which aim to develop students’ capacities as engaged, resilient, and adaptable citizens and leaders, and the
School of Music has proposed several new or revised courses to support this
effort. The School of
Music is located on Ohio
State University’s main campus in Columbus, the capital city of Ohio. Columbus is the Midwest’s
fastest-growing city and the nation’s 14th largest city. Columbus
offers a diverse array of welcoming neighborhoods and a vibrant arts and
culture scene, including myriad professional string organizations such as the
Columbus Symphony, ProMusica, Chamber Music Columbus, VIVO Music Festival, the
String Teacher Workshop at Ohio State, UCelli: The Columbus Cello Quartet,
Urban Strings Columbus, Columbus Cultural Orchestra, and Chamber Music Connection.
String music education
opportunities are likewise robust in Central Ohio, with string programs in all
school districts, five youth orchestras, and three community orchestras. Additional information about all that
the Columbus area has to offer is available at https://visit.osu.edu/experience. Application
