Pursue Your Passion.

Make music a part of your college experience.

The Southern Virginia University Music Program is structured as co-curricular so you can continue to be a serious musician regardless of what you study.

In any of our ensembles, you will have more face-time and training with your world-class director, more extraordinary musical experiences and performances, and more community and friends who share your passion of the power of music.
