Music at Concordia

Home

Music is an important part of the Concordia experience. One-third of our student body participates in musical activities.

You don’t need to be a major or minor to join one (or more!) of our 19 music ensembles, participate in the annual Concordia Christmas Concert or tour around the country and world to showcase your love of music.

Most students involved in the music program aren’t pursuing music academically. They just have outstanding vocal or instrumental talent and we provide them with the opportunity to share it. Whether or not you choose music as a major or minor, you can still experience the rich musical culture at Concordia through challenging coursework, ensembles, or researching and composing.
