NEW LOOK - NEW TOWN - NEW GROWTH  
Harmony University will transform, expand, relocate in 2014

With the assignment of Mike O'Neill as Director of Harmony University, the program will expand in a number of ways in the coming year, becoming

  • the opportunity to deliver educational programs and training in a variety of ways.

  • a centralized alignment with District / Regional schools / conventions while expanding our reach and broadening our curriculum.

  • an outlet to provide our world-class curriculum to an external audience working through our collaborative relationships.

  • the parent of not only music education, but education and training for administrative leadership and management throughout the Society. 

Part of that transformation will include a new partnership with our Nashville neighbors at Belmont University, which in 2014 will become the home of the week-long Harmony University flagship event.
