“The arts are not a luxury, they are fundamental. They are everywhere humans are. They provide joy and escape, but they also provide critique, healing, connection and meaning. They comfort us, but they also challenge us. They remind us who we are and who we could be.
Graduates, my charge to you is to actively bring the arts to wider audiences and engage more people. Don’t wait for the world to come to you. Go to the world, and prove to them how valuable your work is.” - Pete Jutras, CCM Dean and Thomas Jane’s Kelly Professor of Music.
Congratulations to CCM’s Class of 2025-26! We’re so incredibly proud of you.
Now, it’s your time to go out and stand in the spotlight on the world’s stage. We can’t wait to see what you do next.

The composition is inspired by Taiwanese moon blocks, a traditional ritual that Wei experienced in her hometown. In this practice, two crescent-shaped wooden blocks are tossed to communicate with a deity, with each outcome carrying a different meaning. What was once a familiar part of daily life became the foundation for a new creative exploration.
