Ensembles
Student Ensembles
The Department of Music maintains and supports a wide variety of student performing ensembles, all of which are open to all Miami students. About 10% of Miami's students are involved with the school's music organizations each semester. For information not available on these pages, please contact the Department of Music by email or by phone (513/529-3014).
Auditions
Most every ensemble holds auditions at the beginning of the Fall semester (usually the first week) and are open to all Miami students, majors and non-majors alike. Posters announcing time/place details are on bulletin boards in the Center for the Performing Arts a week or two before the beginning of classes.
