The EKU Department of Music features approximately 20 student ensembles comprised from 180 undergraduate and graduate music majors. Many non-music majors drawn from a general enrollment of 15,000 also participate. Student ensembles are open to any student enrolled at Eastern Kentucky University. Students DO NOT have to be a music major to participate in these groups, however, some ensembles do require an audition. Auditions are usually scheduled at the beginning of each semester.
Some ensembles have instruments available for students to use free of charge.
Please use the ensemble links below to contact ensemble directors for more audition and scholarship information. Your school can contact our faculty, or faculty ensembles, to arrange a visit. They can present concerts, clinics, and assist directors in the development of their programs. Performing regularly throughout the region, the faculty ensembles at EKU are available for public and private engagements. Information regarding availability, scheduling, and cost can be obtained by contacting each ensemble directly.
