Overview
USC Thornton’s venues support the School of Music’s performances and collaborations. They accommodate diverse sonic genres and events from innovative industry conferences to early music explorations.
In addition to our on-campus venues, spaces such as the legendary El Rey, Walt Disney Concert Hall and Warner Brothers Studios provide learning opportunities for students to experience professional environments in Los Angeles.
