Stanford Students

The great majority of Stanford Live visiting artists engage directly with Stanford students during their stay on campus. Programs include residence hall performances and discussions, workshops and master classes in classroom and studio settings, and opportunities for students to join professional artists on stage (e.g., Chocolate Heads with William Parker). Through the Opening Acts program, a team of Stanford students works with Stanford Live staff to curate short performances by student ensembles that “open” select events at Bing Concert Hall (to be announced).
