Question for those you with students studying music in college. Have you been able to watch performances remotely, either through live streaming or recordings? I know this capability/intention was mentioned in some of our tours; just not sure how often it happens. Is it realistic to expect to be able to watch some things from home? Thanks!
McGill’s Schulich school livestreams many student performances and make many available on youtube afterwards
The Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam, Ithaca College, and the Eastman School of Music all livestream most of the performances (pretty sure not recitals though).
Good to hear that it’s becoming more ubiquitous. Not the same as being there, of course, but much better than nothing!
Frost (U of Miami) has live streaming in their 2 main venues - performances & recitals. Some clips are uploaded to Youtube.
There are some at Yale as well.
IU streams all of its operas,the Philharmonic Orchestra performances, and then the a smattering of other ensemble performances. The annual schedule is always posted on the IU Jacobs Livestream site at the beginning of the year.
Oberlin Conservatory live-streams the on-campus performances of its four major orchestras/ensembles. Many junior and senior recitals are live-streamed also (not sure if all of them because S had to pay for the live-stream package for his recital so maybe it is optional).
We have streamed concerts (both large ensembles and small studio ensembles) from Eastman, Michigan, Miami and Ithaca over the past year and a half. FYI I believe Eastman might stream recitals, but I think they are password protected. Some of the students at Eastman have been streaming their own non-degree recitals via various services - my son has been invited to watch some of them as an incoming studio member – but I think those were protected in some way, either a link was only given to friends and family, or a password or something. We watched one the other day and the service they were using kept interrupting periodically with commercials (very annoying!) so clearly it was a 3rd party service where you have to pay to get rid of commercials.
We have an adapter to hook up a laptop via HDMI cable to the TV so we can watch on the big TV with good sound.
Check the school’s Web site. Often they will have a section/page with a calendar of live streams and some (Ithaca, I think?) even put up archived performances.
We watched all the IU operas (that we didn’t attend) at home. They are also archived so you can watch them at a later date. This worked well for my H’s family in Japan. I’m assuming other performances (non-opera) are handled the same way. Quality is pretty good but can be “jumpy” on occasion. Finally, for a few operas they were NOT live streamed due to copyright laws. As said above, they have a schedule on their website for planning purposes.
I have been eatching the UNT channel live streams on you tube
Hartt started streaming performances a couple of years ago.
Purchase does this as well for performances and it seems like most recitals. (You might have to request it for recitals.)
I’ve been able to watch all of my daughter’s composition concerts livestreamed from Boston Conservatory,
CIM and Lawrence livestream performances.
Don’t know about instrumental, but hartt does operas, black boxes and recitals for vps. I attend them,but my husband live streams everyone.
Oberlin streams just about everything but the operas. And all recitals are streamed 
That’s great to hear. Happy for my friend who will be sending her son off to Oberlin! I have enjoyed checking out the live stream/recorded offerings on the Jacobs School of Music website - a nice sample of the performances from this year!
Instant encore often has college performances on it, Curtis often had streaming performances on there. Schools themselves will stream stuff on their websites as well, so there is a lot you can watch. Saw a lot of my son’s performances in orchestra at school that way, since we rarely got up to see them performing live.
Oberlin lives streams most performances on campus including student performances (at no cost to the student).
