The Music Department provides space and support for the academic recitals of music students who meet the requirements listed below.
If you are part of a CSA group who would like to perform in a Music Department space, please visit CSA Student Group Events page for information. If you are an individual student or student group who would like to put on a public performance, but you are not enrolled with the Music Department or part of a CSA group, please look into campus venues such as The Cave and Norse Little Theater which exist for these extracurricular activities. The Music Department only provides space and support for academic recitals.

Student Recitals are typically scheduled on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in the late morning, afternoon or early evening. There are often multiple recitals in a day.
