Our Ensembles

Ensembles in the School of Music

UNO’s School of Music has performance opportunities for everyone. Students of all majors can take advantage of the musical opportunities the university has to offer. Some ensembles require an audition, and some do not. Our faculty are committed to the academic and artistic development of students throughout the United States and around the world.

Ensemble Placement Auditions happen the week before classes begin at UNO. Click the link above for information on scheduling your ensemble audition. Information will be posted in July for the upcoming academic year. Ensemble Placement Auditions are for students that have already been admitted to UNO, either as a music major or to a major other than music. For information about auditioning for entrance into the School of Music as a music major, please our Prospective Students page.
