Magic of the Arts

University High School’s signature event

Magic of the Arts is a powerful celebration of the arts at the heart of UHS. Each year, nearly all 500 students take the stage in a showcase of music and performance, reflecting the depth, scale, and unity of our arts program. Bringing together choral and instrumental ensembles in a single, unforgettable event, Magic of the Arts highlights the discipline, collaboration, and creativity that define a UHS education—and captures the extraordinary impact of an entire school committed to the arts.
