Program Highlights  

• Students who participate in one or more of MU’s music ensembles meet others with similar interests, form strong bonds through music and make friends for life.
• The Manchester Symphony Orchestra is a unique assemblage of students, faculty, staff and alumni of Manchester University, as well as community members and other professional musicians from the region. MU students make up about one fourth of the 50-member ensemble.
• Private lessons are available for all students, regardless of major. The Music Department provides instruction on all standard band and orchestral instruments, piano, organ and voice.

Why Manchester?

An accomplished and dedicated faculty embraces the MU ideal of the whole student and believes music can change people’s lives. It’s why we offer so many ways for students to participate in MU’s outstanding music activities and extra curriculars.
