Committed to the enrichment of educational and artistic experiences for students at the Frost School of Music, Roe and Penny Stamps established the Stamps Family Charitable Foundation Distinguished Visitors Series in 2003.  Guided by a profound interest in the arts, they continue to champion and support philanthropic endeavors in our community.

Thanks to the Stamps’ extraordinary vision and generous commitment, the Frost School is able to bring together a broad array of established artists, scholars, and leaders in the music industry for the benefit of both our students and the community.

“The purpose of this series is to offer students the opportunity to expand their artistic and intellectual growth by providing unmatched educational experiences that continue the University of Miami’s tradition of excellence,” state Mr. and Mrs. Stamps.
