Performance Opportunities

The string performance degree program is designed to acquaint students with a wide range of musical styles through a multitude of performing opportunities in addition to individual studies with a faculty of top New York area professionals. Students are encouraged to perform in solo recitals, chamber ensembles, large ensembles, and University productions such as operas and musicals. Each student has a weekly lesson with his/her major teacher and undergraduates are also assigned a weekly coaching with a staff accompanist.

String students may perform in any or all of the following ensembles: NJCU Orchestra Opera Orchestra String Chamber Orchestra Musical Theatre Orchestra Chamber Ensembles Studio Orchestra
