Department of Music
"Each new piece is a new language, a new thing to communicate." — Meredith Monk
Music connects the past to the present, communicating between and across cultures. Our department offers a program exploring the history, theory, performance, creation, and cross-cultural study of music. Majors, minors, and students with a passion for music are active performers, scholars, leaders, makers, and teachers of music. A faculty of national and international standing encourages students to unite their technical development with a broadening of intellectual horizons, sharpening of critical skills, and an awareness of the role of music in communities both local and global.
