The Boston music scene has long been viewed as one of the most innovative and exciting in the United States, and part of the reason for that is the strength of the music scene right here at Berklee. The hundreds of student, faculty, and alumni concerts on campus each year make Berklee one of the best places to see and hear what's new in music.
