FAQ

The School of Music arranges for recordings to be made of nearly all performances and recitals given by the College of Fine Arts. Copies can be made for performers, faculty and staff, and, with the performers’ permission, for other interested parties. For copyright reasons, commercial recordings may be duplicated only in very limited circumstances.
