Music majors and non-majors are welcome to join an ensemble at Concordia.

The music department is mixed with 200 music majors and 600+ non-majors every semester.

Consider a few of the 19 major music ensembles, like The Concordia Choir, The Concordia Band and The Concordia Orchestra. To become a member, all you have to do is audition.

Private lessons with the music faculty will help build your talent, as more than 700 music lessons are given each week. Be sure to check out the chamber music opportunities as well.
