Through December 1996 the School of Music will celebrate its centenary with special programs, commissions, performances and displays of new technology. Also in tribute to the Centennial, an ongoing series of recordings of Northwestern ensembles and soloists on compact discs and an illustrated catalogue of historical dates and alumni achievements will soon be available. Compact discs Nos. 2 and 6 were released in May 1996, and No. 4 is excepted to be released in June 1996. 3 will be released in late summer.
Facilities are accessible to the disabled.
A limited number of complimentary Summer Band tickets for seniors are available at the box office one week prior to concerts. No phone orders will be accepted for complimentary tickets. There will be seminars in music education, listening, performance anxiety, applying to college, the art of auditioning and chamber music. Core courses in musicianship, composition and conducting offer students the opportunity to broaden their musical perspective. Applied music, whether it be performance or composition, receives top priority, with special emphasis on chamber music.
