Music

"Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent." —Victor Hugo

Why Music at Andrews

Opportunities are important. At Andrews, you can join the music ensemble of your choice regardless of your major. We are home to two choirs, Symphony Orchestra, Wind Symphony, Jazz Ensemble Quintet, chamber and piano ensembles.

You’ll love our Howard Performing Arts Center (HPAC), a world class performance hall, where you'll have a chance to perform.

You will have the opportunity to hear world class performances by visiting artists at the Howard Performing Arts Center such as the Canadian Brass and the Vienna Boys Choir.

You will also have access to live performances within 30 minutes in South Bend (University of Notre Dame DeBartalo Center) or a bit futher in Kalamazoo, MI and Chicago, Il—two major cultural centers.

We offer four different Bachelor degrees so you can get the exact education you’re looking for. We’ll teach what you want to learn.
