UMBC Ensembles

UMBC provides a wide range of music performance experiences, open to audition by both music majors and non-majors. Our Symphony Orchestra and Concert Choir are also open to members of the community. All ensembles perform on campus at least once each semester, and many perform frequently in the surrounding community or on tour.

 

The following is a list of links to each ensemble page, which includes audition information and contact information for the director of each group.

We look forward to your contribution to making UMBC a vibrant musical community!
