Music at Emory
The Department of Music at Emory University provides an exciting and innovative environment for developing knowledge and skills as a performer, composer, and scholar. Led by a faculty of more than 60 nationally and internationally recognized artists and researchers, undergraduate and graduate students experience a rich diversity of performance and academic opportunities. Undergraduate students in the department earn a BA in music with a specialization in performance, composition, or research, many of whom simultaneously earn a second degree in another department. True to the spirit of Emory, a liberal arts college in the heart of a research university, the faculty and ensembles also welcome the participation of nonmajor students from across the Emory campus. Become a part of Music at Emory by giving to the Friends of Music. A gift provides crucial support to all of the activities. To learn more, visit music. emory.edu or call 404.727.1401.

Many Thanks . . . and Stay Tuned During this season of giving thanks, we are thankful for you—your support, your feedback, and your willingness to take this virtual journey with us. We are driven by Emory’s motto—the wise heart seeks knowledge. Care and compassion are critical to our educational and service missions. These very values must guide our response to challenging situations, including our current ones. Whenever it is appropriate for the Schwartz Center for Performing Arts to return to live performances, we hope to continue providing a livestream for those who prefer to watch virtually. The timing of a return to live performances will be informed by the current health guidelines, and in coordination with Emory University.
