Visiting artists

 

 

To ensure that students have the opportunity to examine the widest possible cross-section of music practices, the School of Music regularly invites celebrated artists from around the world to share their experience and insights with students and supplement the expertise of regular faculty. Some guests also serve as visiting faculty members who spend one or more semester at CalArts. In recent years, the pool of visiting artists has included:
