Department of Music


If you're looking for a nationally and internationally recognized music program, with performance organizations to match, you've come to the right place. Concordia's seven majors, nationally broadcast Concordia Christmas Concerts, 17 music ensembles and more than 700 private lessons taught each week by Concordia's 45 music faculty members, are an integral part of life here.

A Concordia music major will prepare you for a wide variety of careers, from professional musician, to music teacher, conductor, composer and more. Many students choose to minor in music, to complement their other studies. Even more choose to play in one of our music ensembles, making music an important part of their life at Concordia, even though it is not their major area of study.
