Our students have diversity of performance opportunities in our ensembles to showcase their musical abilities and talent.

From the Arizona Symphony Orchestra to Mariachi Arizona, and from Wind Ensemble to the world famous Pride of Arizona marching band music majors, minors, and non-majors all have the opportunity to share music with local, national, and International audiences.

If you are a music major, your training may include performing in world class orchestras, bands, choirs, jazz ensembles, and chamber ensembles. All UA students can audition for these ensembles, and some, including Glees, University Community Chorus, and Folk-Rock Ensemble are open to all without an audition or prior experience†.

Many of our ensembles are available to perform outside engagements. If you or your organization are interesting in hiring live, highly-experienced talent, please contact Brian Luce via email or +1 (520) 621-7015.
