Visiting Artists

These are artists visiting MIT Music and Theater Arts this academic year. They have been invited to perform and interact with MIT students, faculty, and staff during their visits. Some will teach and visit various music classes. Visiting Artists are made possible in part by the Center for Art, Science & Technology, The Council for the Arts at MIT and MIT Music and Theater Arts.
