Student Involvement

Music Ensembles

The UNO School of Music has a large variety of performance ensembles which are open to music majors and non-music majors. Some ensembles require an audition to participate, but there are several for which no audition is required. Several of the auditioned ensembles take trips overseas every other year. Participation in one of these ensembles gives students an opportunity to travel to Europe, Japan, or other parts of the world with the ensemble.
