Levine is celebrating 50 glorious years of music-making all year long!
Join us in celebrating our students and faculty and the three incredible women who founded Levine – Ruth Cogen, Diana Engel, and Jackie Marlin – whose vision was, and still is, music for all.
In this short video, Ari O’Neal (who today performs with the likes of Beyoncé, John Legend, and Usher) reflects on the role Levine played in her life and career. You’ll also meet Christy Smith, a music therapy student, and Rachael Abbott, a voice student, whose experiences show the many ways Levine creates a welcoming place for students of all ages, backgrounds, and musical paths.
Watch their stories and learn more about Levine’s enduring commitment to music for all.
As we approach the end of our fiscal year on June 30, please make a gift to the Annual Fund today in honor of all our students, faculty, and alumni for their musicianship, perseverance, and dedication to their craft. Your gift helps ensure more students like Ari can realize their dreams.
