Concerts
The music department welcomes the participation of all interested students in its ensemble programs, private lessons, and music courses, regardless of major. At the same time, Marietta music majors are assured a thorough preparation for graduate school and for future careers within the profession. From large scale choral performances to small instrumental ensembles, from individual lessons to classroom learning, improving one's personal musicianship and sharing artistic expression are central to our music program.
