On Friday, June 14, The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music honored our newest graduates in an engaging commencement celebration. Undergraduate speaker Ashley Dao and graduate speaker Robby Good delivered moving speeches. The keynote address was delivered by the famed opera composer (and alum) Jake Heggie.
The event took place in the Ackerman Ballroom at 10:00 a.m. The faculty and student processional was performed by the School of Music’s Commencement Brass Ensemble and the West African Drum Ensemble. The recessional music was provided by Mariachi de Uclatlán. A reception was held on the Ackerman Patio.
We are proud of our graduates and their success. We wish them well as they take their leadership, creativity, and dedication to music out into the world.
