THE SHEPHERD SOCIETY
When you join The Shepherd Society... the benefits are noteworthy!
As The Shepherd Society enters its 37th year, we remain committed to supporting the exceptionally high level of music performance and academic excellence that has marked our program since its inception. Shepherd Society members provide essential scholarship support that enables our students to pursue their craft without financial encumbrance. Your investment in our aspiring young musicians strongly reaffirms your belief in the future of classical music in Houston and beyond. Rice's Centennial year presents even more opportunities to celebrate the dedication, musicianship and creativity that Shepherd students bring to their programs of study. I hope you will join me in attending many of our outstanding offerings throughout the concert season.
Robert Yekovich, Dean
