the world.

In 1884, the newly founded university opened the Department of Music — the first professional school at the four-year-old college. Nearly half of USC’s first 100 graduates earned degrees in music.</span></p><p class="brz-css-lmixt" data-uniq-id="qkztx" data-generated-css="brz-css-jllrd"><span class="brz-cp-color7"> </span></p><p class="brz-css-jgkbc" data-uniq-id="qkztx" data-generated-css="brz-css-jllrd"><span class="brz-cp-color7">As Los Angeles grew, USC grew with it. The School of Music was deeply intertwined with the city’s post–World War II cultural renaissance: Faculty and graduates constituted much of the newly formed Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the school’s growing reputation drew internationally renowned artists to the faculty — Jascha Heifetz, Gregor Piatigorsky and Ingolf Dahl among them. Today, the Thornton School continues to count some of the world’s foremost performers, conductors and composers in its ranks.</span></p><p class="brz-css-nmyua" data-uniq-id="qkztx" data-generated-css="brz-css-jllrd"><span class="brz-cp-color7"> </span></p><p class="brz-css-pemiq" data-uniq-id="qkztx" data-generated-css="brz-css-jllrd"><span class="brz-cp-color7">USC Thornton has continuously adapted to the changing landscape of musical professions, and was one of the first schools of music to introduce cutting-edge jazz, film scoring, music industry, and popular music programs. Its faculty, students and graduates continue to shape the course of music in Los Angeles and beyond.</span></p></div></div></div><div class="brz-css-fnion brz-css-uefex brz-wrapper"><div
