The MDT offers many opportunities for performance in a variety of capacities; these include solo appearances in music seminars and a mid-day concert series as well as ensemble concerts and collaborative piano with instrumentalists and vocalists. Piano majors also participate in large ensembles such as Symphony of Winds and Percussion, NJCU Orchestra, Musical Theatre Pit Orchestra, Chamber music, and Percussion Ensemble.
