Ensembles
No matter what you're majoring in—whether it's music, biochemistry, or anything else—you'll find plenty of opportunities to sing, play, practice, and perform with other musicians. You'll express your musical skills by performing challenging and intriguing literature. You'll sing and play alongside friends and fellow students who share your passion for music.
Calvin’s music program sponsors nine large ensembles, groups comprised of majors, minors, and non-majors who enjoy making music in community. Our ensembles encompass a wide range of musical styles, experience levels, and time commitments. Ensemble students strengthen their musicianship through thoughtful performances of quality literature, foster life-long friendships, and engage in supportive Christian fellowship.
Department ensembles are open to all Calvin students, with placement auditions typically held at the beginning of each academic year. Students may earn 1 credit for ensemble participation, credits that can also be used to help fulfill the Arts Core requirement.
