The Peabody Institute is committed to building a more inclusive, representative repertoire and musical experience for our students, in our curriculum and in the performances we present. For students auditioning on an instrument or voice, and where there is an elective choice in audition requirements, the Peabody Institute encourages applicants to present repertoire by composers who have been historically underrepresented in ethnicity, race, and gender, or to showcase works that reflect your own cultural identity.
