Credo Programs
Credo Oberlin
Credo is a series of programs of intensive chamber music study designed to nurture the serious music student artistically and spiritually.
What makes Credo totally unique among professional level programs is Credo's celebration of musical excellence as a gift of the Spirit. Credo successfully brings together students from a wide variety of faith backgrounds in pursuit of understanding and implementation of the principles of compassion, selflessness, discipline and universal love.
