Where the future of
art and artist align.

UNCSA Media will release "Desert Pass," a new album from the chamber ensemble Zéphyros Winds, on June 20. Released through UNCSA Media, the album includes "The Light is the Same" by Reena Esmail and world premiere recordings of "Tatu" by David Sanford and "Desert Pass" by UNCSA alum Tyson Gholston Davis.

"Design boldly. Perform with searing passion. Create with great conviction. And lead with honest and heartfelt empathy," award-winning costume designer Paul Tazewell told the graduates at UNCSA's 59th Commencement. "As artists, you cannot create depth without understanding. You cannot create truth without empathy. That's the real education, and it doesn't end today."

UNCSA has announced the finalized acquisition of the property at 411 W. Fourth Street in downtown Winston-Salem, adjacent to the historic Stevens Center. The strategic purchase will enhance the current comprehensive renovation of the university's largest performance venue and expand UNCSA's downtown footprint.
