Music Program
Make music a part of your college experience.
You don’t have to major in music to be part of a high-quality ensemble.
Pursue Your Passion
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.
