Quick Facts about Chamber Music

The Wall Street Journal featured DePauw’s unique non-jazz improvisation course for classical musicians where students gain confidence in their creative ideas through improvisation and self-expression.

During a recent concert tour of central Eastern Europe – which included a standingroom-only performance at historic Martinů Hall in Prague – DePauw percussionists had the honor of being invited to represent the United States during International Percussion Ensemble Week in Croatia.

DePauw jazz ensembles and combos perform in formal concert venues throughout Indiana, as well as concerts in club settings. “Jazz at the Duck,” a jazz series at the Fluttering Duck restaurant, features weekly performances by professional jazz artists who often invite DePauw jazz students to join in on informal sessions.

Chambers Ensembles are open to all students, both in the School of Music and College of Liberal Arts, by audition.

 

Chamber Ensembles

The DePauw School of Music's chamber ensembles present concerts each semester, often in conjunction with other chamber ensembles, major ensembles, or arts organizations on campus. Students participate in a variety of chamber ensembles throughout their time at DePauw, studying repertoire they would not experience in a major ensemble.

Chamber music in the DePauw School of Music comes in many different forms — ranging from groups consisting of one instrument, groups that study scene work, groups that focus on a type of performance or repertoire, and many more.
