Department of Music Ensembles

With the assistance of the School of Arts and Sciences and the Student Activities Council, the Department of Music sponsors a wide range of performance activities that allow students to refine their musicianship in an enjoyable yet challenging environment. Students may elect to receive credit for their participation in these professionally-led Department ensembles:

• Penn Symphony Orchestra
• Penn Wind Ensemble
• AudioNexus
• University Choral Society
• University Choir
• Ancient Voices
• Baroque Ensemble
• Recorder Ensemble
• Penn Chamber
• Jazz Combos

Ensemble for Credit
Any student who passes the audition for entrance into a Departmentally-sponsored performing group may enroll in Music 007, which grants 0.5 cu per year for successful participation in a music department sponsored group for two consecutive semesters (i.e. one academic year).
