Music at Hamline University
“So long as the human
spirit thrives, music in some living form will accompany and sustain it and
give it expressive meaning.” (Copland)
Music is an essential aspect of life at Hamline. Its performance and study are central to the
experience of the liberal arts. Active
involvement and leadership by students is emphasized through individual
performance study, recitals, and ensemble concerts.
Courses and ensembles are open to all, and students are
encouraged to develop as complete musicians. In addition to historical,
theoretical, and cultural studies, learning opportunities beyond the classroom
include study abroad, internships, and individual research. Degrees offered range from the Bachelor of
Arts to the Artist Diploma. Our graduates
pursue careers in performance, composing, teaching, and interdisciplinary areas
of the fine arts.
Sundin Music Hall provides a home to the outstanding professional
musical life of the Twin Cities and beyond.
The Music Department is a longstanding member of the National
Association of Schools of Music, with highly specialized faculty focused on the
collaborative training of musicians.
