A Message From the Chair
Picture yourself here, doing what you love, studying and performing in a stimulating and col实验室orative learning community surrounded by faculty members and students who share your passion for music. 欢迎 to the 音乐 Department at the University of Mary!
Our faculty and students intentionally live the university’s Benedictine values each day. We are a community of learners who support and encourage one another. At the same time we challenge one another to be the best we can be – as individual performers, members of 乐团, servants of liturgical song, and educators. We pursue beauty and artistry as we delve into the depths of our understanding and experience of music in our 实践, 排练, and performances.
In addition to studying with renowned music faculty, you will have opportunities to take part in master 类 and festival performances with guest artists and leading music professionals. Recent guests include the Real Group, Nestor Torres, Canadian Brass, 艾米诺尔特, 格雷格•尼尔森, 海伦唱, New York Voices, Christine Jensen, Hannah Occeña and Emely Phelps, and Highline Vocal Jazz.
We invite you to check us out. Schedule “a day in the life of a music major” during your campus visit so you can meet our students and faculty, rehearse with our 乐团, and take a free lesson in your area of interest. If possible, schedule your visit during one of our signature events, Christmas at Mary 或者是 Jazz Festival, or one of our many concerts and recitals throughout the year so you can experience us in action.
The University of Mary 音乐 Department – creating 音乐 for Life.
