2025-26 Season

SCFMusic is excited to announce the 2025-26 performance season

SCF is proud to host one of the region’s strongest music programs—and the only college in the area offering both music courses and a full two-year transfer program for students pursuing a degree in music. The program has something for everyone: private lessons for community members, ensemble opportunities open to all SCF students, and a rich calendar of public concerts showcasing the talents of our music students. We invite you to join the experience by attending concerts and supporting the next generation of musical artists.

Alongside the music program, SCF now offers an A.S. workforce degree in Music Production, designed for students interested in the technical and creative side of the industry. Visit the college website to learn more about this exciting program.

We are deeply grateful to our supporters, donors, and patrons for making these opportunities possible through your ongoing encouragement and attendance at SCFMusic events. If you would like to learn more about ways to support SCFMusic, please speak with a faculty member or see the information below.

This season, we especially encourage contributions to the “Music Theory and Piano” Fund, which provides tutoring and other vital support for students in core music courses.

Support SCFMusic

  1. Come to concerts!  Your ticket proceeds go directly to the ensemble(s) performing in that concert.

  2. Tell your friends.  Invite them to a concert and share the SCFMusic app with them.

  3. Consider a Donation through the SCF Foundation:  

Please consider these current needs of the Music Program:

  1. Music Theory and Keyboards Fund - The current need is to create enough funding to support the Music Theory Tutor scholarships.  We would love to find donors willing to support the expenses of this program, which is only around $3000 per year.

  2. Music Enhancement Fund - funds to meet a variety of expenses for the music program, including travel, instruments, repairs, promotional materials and advertising, etc.

  3. Music Theatre Ensemble Fund - to support the higher costs necessary to produce large productions.
