The Jacksonville
University Orchestra presents four concerts on campus per year, with additional
off-campus performances and opportunities. String
majors may seek any of the degrees offered in music. Opportunities for the string student include
orchestra (full and chamber), chamber music, recording sessions,
"pit" orchestra for musicals and operas, participation in master
classes (including guest artists from the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra and
other arts organizations), as well as collaborative projects with other areas
of the Division of Music and the College of Fine Arts.
Jacksonville
University is a private university, serving primarily undergraduate students.
Class sizes are small, so students get to know the professors very well. We at
JU are invested in your success and our students experience that connection
right away. JU performing arts students are very busy, performing throughout
the year. Because we're small, students receive excellent, personal training
and professionally relevant experiences.
