Music

Welcome to the Bucknell University Department of Music. At Bucknell, students who share a passion for music collaborate with a faculty of active performers, composers, and scholars to study, perform, and explore music from the various historical periods and diverse cultural traditions. Our emphasis is on creativity, whether writing a critical review, composing, conducting a lab ensemble, teaching a song to pre-school children, or performing in solo, chamber, or large ensemble settings. This dynamic environment is ideal for challenging yourself musically and intellectually, and fosters exceptional artistic and personal growth.

I encourage you to contact me or any of the faculty listed in these pages for further information about our wide-ranging programs and musical opportunities. Or, even better, visit us in person; see for yourself how Bucknell's music programs can enrich your life.
