Wheaton College Conservatory of Music praises God for your generosity and prayers that made possible $50.7 million in gifts and commitments from more than 1,200 households. Your support through the From the Heart, For the Kingdom campaign enabled the College to create a new state-of-the-art performing arts center at the heart of campus, which includes the completed recital hall, studios, practice rooms, rehearsal rooms, and classrooms. The second phase of construction, including the 648-seat Concert Hall, is expected to be complete by August 2020.

In February, the Conservatory of Music announced the establishment of the John and Anita Nelson Center for Sacred Music and the John and Anita Nelson Distinguished Chair of Sacred Choral Music and Conducting, Wheaton’s first endowed faculty chair in the arts. Also announced was the new Certificate in Worship Arts, along with a supporting faculty position, Associate Chaplain of Worship Arts/Associate Professor of Music, allied with the Chaplain’s Office and the Conservatory of Music, which will prepare leaders for artistic and theological excellence.
