At Dordt College there are many opportunities to participate in music. Each year, nearly 300 students take lessons, attend music classes, and play or sing in ensembles. Music-making thrives in the ensembles—Concert Choir, Concert Band, Chorale, Women’s Chorus, Campus-Community Band, Kantorei, Chamber Orchestra, and Jazz Band. And students within these ensembles often form small ensembles of their own. Excellence inmusical skills and understanding is further developed in private lessons and in the wide range of music classes.
