The purpose of “Opening Nights in Class” is to educate, illuminate and inspire students of all ages on and off FSU’s campus.
Opening Nights at Florida State University is committed to providing our campus and the Big Bend area with educational and engaging opportunities so that students and residents can enjoy cultural activities. Our series of educational programs provide once-in-a-lifetime experiences through school performances, master classes and workshops with world-renowned performers at no charge to participants.
Educational Programs & Master Classes
Arts education is central to Opening Nights’ mission. We provide meaningful experiences to students of all ages on and off Florida State University’s campus. Sponsorships make possible this broad offering of arts programs for students in the community.
