Mission, Vision, and ValuesMission
Founded in Boston, Berklee is a global community of musicians, artists, and educators who cultivate professional excellence and develop innovative fields and practices. Anchored in a vision of contemporary performing arts education that centers diversity in all its forms and the artistic traditions of the African diaspora, Berklee fosters an equitable and inclusive culture of teaching and learning. Our transformative educational experiences prepare students for purposeful lives and careers as creative leaders in a rapidly changing world.
Vision
Berklee is building the future of arts education-borderless in its availability and influence, pioneering in its embrace of innovation, and committed to empowering artists and creative leaders for lives of inspiration and impact.
Values
Berklee provides the highest-quality educational experience in music, dance, and theater to prepare students to fully realize their creative and career potential, and to promote the power of the arts to better our world.
At Berklee, we believe that an education in the arts deepens cultural awareness and empathy, enhances self-confidence and personal growth, and develops the openness and curiosity essential to creativity.
Our ability as a community to bring these beliefs to life is built on a shared commitment to uphold these fundamental values:
We learn from the past to create the future.
We respect the rights, dignity, and creative expression of all.
We expect honesty and integrity in all interactions.
We have the courage to be authentic.
We take responsibility for our actions.
We care for each other and for the well-being of our community.
"Cultural diversity is integral to the mission of Berklee simply because cultural diversity is integral to music itself. Innovators from diverse backgrounds and cultures have created the music studied here. An essential part of a Berklee education is gaining an appreciation of the rich variety and interdependence of the cultural traditions from which the music that students explore originates.
We must be a community in which every member's voice is valued and respected. A diverse, inclusive work and learning environment is essential to maintaining our role as a leader in contemporary music education. It is imperative that we take specific steps to attract and retain the widest array of talented musicians and provide an environment that supports and nurtures their creative process. The fulfillment of our mission-to educate, train, and develop students to excel in music as a career-will be demonstrated in their influence both on the future of music and on the larger culture.
We view diversity holistically, understanding that the definition is constantly evolving. Our definition of diversity includes race, color, nationality, ethnicity, class, religion, disability, age, sex, gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation. We also know that a diversity of ideas, approaches, disciplines, and learning and musical styles are essential to inclusion and equity. The integration of myriad cultural values and perspectives into what we do at all levels, from teaching to decision-making, is critical.
Many challenges lie ahead in all areas. We believe that increased diversity will support our strategic objective of attracting the highest-quality students, faculty, and staff to Berklee. To accomplish this, we must create a welcoming and supportive multicultural atmosphere for all members of our community. This focus is not the work of any one individual or office; it is the work of everyone. In this spirit, we will encourage a campus-wide climate of respect, openness, and awareness that celebrates and values our diversity."

Jim Lucchese, President
Jim Lucchese joined Berklee on January 1, 2025, as the institution's fifth president. Lucchese is a pioneering music industry executive who came to Berklee with over two decades of experience in artist advocacy and innovation. He began his career as an artist-side music attorney at Greenberg Traurig in New York, where he represented artists on matters ranging from recording and publishing deals to music production and new digital businesses.
In 2007, Lucchese became the CEO of The Echo Nest, a musician-founded company that aimed to improve music discovery. Under Lucchese's leadership, the platform supported over 35,000 independent developers and major music and media companies. In 2014, after Spotify acquired the Echo Nest, Lucchese served as the founding global head of the Creator team, now known as Spotify for Artists, which supports artists in understanding, growing, engaging, and monetizing their fan bases. Under his leadership, Spotify for Artists reached hundreds of thousands of artists monthly, and the Fans First program generated over $100 million in direct artist revenue from ticket and merchandise sales.
In 2017 and 2018, Lucchese was a fellow at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School, where he focused on artists' rights to terminate exclusive copyright grants. During this time, he also served as an advisor to music companies Splice, Sofar Sounds, and Superpowered.
In 2019, Lucchese was named the CEO of Sofar Sounds, a global live music community that has curated over 30,000 live performances across 78 countries. Shortly after joining Sofar, Lucchese launched a new artist services division, helping thousands of artists manage their fan relationships, own their fan data, and generate more revenue. During his tenure, Sofar Sounds paid artists over $40 million directly and facilitated an additional $600 million in ticket sales, merchandise, and other offers.
Lucchese holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Boston College and a Juris Doctor from Georgetown University (magna cum laude). He has served on several Berklee advisory committees since 2009, including the Presidential Advisory Council, the Institute for Creative Entrepreneurship Advisory Board, and the Pre-College, Online, and Professional Programs Advisory Committee.
A drummer since high school, Lucchese is an active member of the Boston music scene and often collaborates with Berklee musicians. His relationship with Berklee began in 1989 when he participated in the school's five-week summer performance program. When he's not working, Lucchese enjoys spending time with his wife and three kids or sitting behind a drum set trying to figure out what Tony Williams is playing on Miles Davis records.
Boston, MABerklee's Boston campus, home to Berklee College of Music and Boston Conservatory at Berklee, pulses with music, theater, dance, and artistic energy. Located in the city's vibrant Back Bay neighborhood, the campus is an ideal place to begin building your lifelong professional network with artists and creative thinkers who come to this diverse, international hub from around the world.
Boston is large enough to draw the world's best talent to its stages but small enough to foster strong bonds within its artistic community. Berklee students are central to that community and are the driving force behind popular annual events such as the Boston Art & Music Soul (BAMS) Festival and the expansive Summer in the City concert series, in which they provide the soundtrack to summer in the area.
Beyond campus, Boston offers a wealth of opportunities for outdoor recreation, dining, shopping, sports, and nightlife. Boston is also home to extraordinary art and science museums, historic houses of worship, vibrant theater, unique galleries and markets, and countless opportunities for exploration and adventure on land, sea, or both (via one of Boston's popular "duck boat" tours).
Attractions and opportunities aside, Berklee students and alumni often note that Boston's people make this such a special place to learn and grow. Consistently ranked "America's smartest city" by Forbes, Boston is at the forefront of innovation in education, technology, and the arts, so, as a Berklee student, opportunities for inspiration, collaboration, and personal growth are all around you.
