Greetings from Silicon Valley!

The faculty and staff at San Jose State University are very pleased to host the CMEA Bay Section Conference. We are pleased to provide concert and clinic facilities ranging from the School of Music & Dance's 500 seat Concert Hall to the 1100 seat Morris Dailey Auditorium located in the historic Tower Building in the center of campus. Founded in 1857, San Jose State University is the first of the California State University campuses. Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, the SJSU School of Music and Dance offers a variety of innovative degree programs spanning traditional studies in performance, composition, and education to the technical avant-garde, cross-cultural studies in improvisation, and jazz.

Surrounding the University, downtown San Jose offers a variety of restaurants from ethnic and fast food to distinctive, fine dining. Coupled with world class hotel accommodations, San Jose provides a truly exciting conference environment. We are honored to serve you and look forward to seeing you each January.
