A Long Tradition
Music has always served to educate and inspire
Winthrop students. From its humble beginning
in 1886 as the normal school for South Carolina,
Winthrop has recognized the importance of music
in the education and day-to-day lives of its students.
Even today, over 400 Winthrop students perform
in our 25 ensembles.
Together with faculty and guest artists, they provide
well over 100 performances annually in four performance venues on campus.
