Dartmouth is a place where arts and artists flourish, where musical journeys can be launched and take unexpected turns, and where exceptional resources, both human and institutional, are available to support creative work.

Dartmouth’s Music Department has a long tradition of excellence and adventurousness. We’re a small department, and the music faculty enjoys getting to know the students who take our classes, whether or not they end up as majors or minors. We offer many different ways to study music, and many different kinds of music to study. Our curriculum features a broad range of classroom courses as well as diverse opportunities for performance studies with top-notch professionals. Concerts, festivals, colloquia, and masterclasses bring together students, faculty, and artists-in-residence in a variety of roles: performer, composer, conductor, curator, producer.

Music Department programs and facilities are open to all. Follow the links on our website to check out course listings and a current schedule of our concert series.
