Shepherd Society
THE SHEPHERD SOCIETY
When you join The Shepherd Society... the benefits are noteworthy!

We have much to celebrate at The Shepherd School of Music. Founded only 33 years ago, the School currently ranks among the most highly renowned conservatories and schools of music in the United States.

Widely considered to have one of the very top university-level orchestral training programs, our opera training program is now garnering national attention, our chamber music ensembles and
soloists continue to win top prizes in international competitions, and our students go on to hold important positions with orchestras, chamber ensembles, opera companies, and major universities throughout the world.

In addition to attracting and retaining extraordinary faculty at The Shepherd School of Music, we must enhance our scholarship offerings for gifted music students to continue bringing them to The Shepherd School, Rice University and Houston. For this reason, your participation in the The Shepherd Society is more important than ever.

Since 1977, The Shepherd Society has played a crucial role in our success here, and your membership, at whatever level you choose to participate, demonstrates that you believe in the importance of training young classical musicians.

While all contributions to The Shepherd Society are applied directly toward student scholarships, naming a prize or a scholarship enables you to become even more involved, since it provides you with the opportunity to benefit a specific Shepherd School student and follow his or her progress throughout the year and beyond.

If you have not participated in The Shepherd Society in the past, I hope that you will consider joining this year. Our members share a unique sense of pride in the quality of musical education we offer here, and have the opportunity to enjoy special member events throughout the academic year.

For those of you who are long-standing and devoted members of The Shepherd Society, know how deeply appreciative we are for your ongoing support and unwavering generosity.
