 		   Performance is an integral part of Cornell's cultural life and an essential part of its undergraduate programs in music. The Department of Music encourages music making through its offerings in individual instruction and through organizations and ensembles that are directed and trained by members of the faculty. The music department sponsors more than a hundred concerts and lectures on campus each year, given by faculty members, students, and distinguished visiting artists; most are free. 

In addition to those majoring in music, nearly a thousand students from all colleges and departments of the university participate in:
