Find Out Who We Are...
Welcome to the Department of Music at Kennesaw State University. This is an exciting time for us. In the fall of 2007 we moved into our new performance center. Acoustically and visually, our new concert halls are a joy – they feel right. These new spaces allow us to highlight our greatest assets, our students and our faculty.
Daily, our students are immersed in music. Whether interacting with visiting musicians, scholars and arts leaders, working with our faculty, composing their own works, or performing with our choral, opera, orchestral, jazz and wind ensemble programs, our students are musically hands-on.
Our resident faculty of active composers, historians, educators, performers and conductors partner with artist-teachers from the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, the Atlanta Opera and other prominent musical organizations to provide our students with a comprehensive education. We understand the challenges and opportunities that shape young musicians’ lives. For all of us, music is a calling - it is our passion.
Our exceptional faculty, our new arts facilities (more are coming in 2008), and the breadth of musical and educational opportunities at KSU make us an exciting choice for dedicated musicians. If you are a prospective student, parent, or a patron we invite you to visit often. Come to a concert, attend a class, sit in on a rehearsal. Find out who we are. For many aspiring teachers, performers, composers, and scholars, KSU is just the right fit.
