Music Ensembles at Arcadia
Regardless of your area of study, music can still be a part of your educational experience at Arcadia. We offer various opportunities for music expression whether instrumental or vocal.
At the end of each semester, Arcadia’s ensembles perform a concert of repertoire ranging from classical to popular music. Ensembles perform regularly on and off campus at events such as graduation ceremonies, honors convocation, donor nights, honorary degree receptions, and for local organizations. We hope you will join one of our ensembles to supplement your liberal arts education at Arcadia.
