Student Ensembles

Ranging in size from trios and quartets to a chamber orchestra, the Austin College Woodwind, Brass, and String Ensembles provide students with the opportunity to read, rehearse, and perform chamber music under the direction of Music Department faculty.  Membership in the ensembles is based on auditions held at the beginning of each academic year and is open to any student with an instrumental background, with participation recorded on students’ academic records each semester as a non-credit course.  (Audition information for the current year is given on the Music Department webpage.)  On- and off-campus performances for the student ensembles are scheduled annually, including formal recitals and concerts in Wynne Chapel and guest appearances at other area schools.  Recorded excerpts of ensemble performances are available through the following links:
