The Department of Music hosts many performing ensembles and combos. Participation is not limited to Music majors, but auditions are required. Some ensembles are open to community members. If you are new to Stanford, you will have to audition, regardless of whether or not you submitted a supplemental audition. Some ensembles require students to audition each year. Be prepared to play études, a sonata, a concerto excerpt, or anything else that demonstrates your abilities. For audition information in Winter or Spring Quarter, contact the individual ensemble directors via email, though students who want to audition for chamber music in any quarter are encouraged to audition in Autumn Quarter.
ALL STANFORD STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO REGISTER FOR ENSEMBLES. A Zero-Unit Enrollment option has been created for graduate students and for students unable to enroll in lessons or ensembles. For further information, read the Zero Unit Enrollment policy
