The faculty and staff of Emory College and the Campus Life staff of Emory University encourage students to participate in a wide variety of campus and community activities, knowing that the curricular and cocurricular activities should complement and enrich one another. Students may choose among activities that range from art and music to sports and politics both within the Emory community and beyond. The Arts at Emory Emory offers creative and interpretive opportunities, in both curricular and cocurricular contexts, in music, theater, art, dance, and creative writing. Prominent artists visit the campus regularly, and students are encouraged to use the cultural resources of Atlanta as well as Emory. Music Instrumental and choral ensembles offer students an opportunity to perform and learn music of all periods.
Students wishing to participate can find a rewarding place in one of the many ensembles.
Private instruction is also available. Local, national, and international artists visit the campus regularly for concerts, master classes, and symposia in the Music at Emory Series, including the Flora Glenn Candler Concert Series, the University Organist Recital Series, and the faculty guest series. The wealth of concert opportunities allows students to hear a wide variety of professional performances. Most musical ensembles are open to students, faculty, and staff from the various graduate and professional schools as well as Emory College. Several ensembles have toured extensively, both nationally and internationally.
