At Dickinson, we offer our students direct access to our faculty, all of whom studied at top institutions within their fields (including the Curtis Institute, The Eastman School of Music, Indiana University, Juilliard, the New England Conservatory, Peabody Conservatory and the Westminster Choir College).
The department offers music majors, minors and non-majors a wide range of curriculum choices in four area: performance, history, theory and composition. Music majors are prepared solidly for further graduate studies in music and careers in music. Our ensembles are open to all Dickinson students.
Our concert season provides access to excellent performances by eminent artists such as Peter Watchorn, Phyllis Bryn-Julson, Barry Snyder and Rita Sloan, plus ensembles such as Alarm Will Sound. We also provide access to lectures by composers and scholars of international stature like Milton Babbitt and Tim Page. As our calendar of upcoming events makes clear, Dickinson is a vibrant place for musical enjoyment and study.
