April Welcome Event

Watch this recording of a live accepted student event that took place in the Berklee Performance Center in July 2021. After a year of isolation and virtual gatherings, the newly admitted entering class of fall (September) 2021 was able to get together in person to celebrate their acceptance. This event was designed to help students network with their peers and learn more about what to expect in their first year at Berklee.
