Furman Ensembles

Performance Opportunities

When asked what makes studying music at Furman appealing and satisfying, our majors talk about the many opportunities they have to perform. Students choose from major ensembles like the Symphony Orchestra, the Symphonic Band, the Furman Singers, and the Marching Band, as well as smaller groups like the Percussion Ensemble, the Jazz Ensembles, the Chamber Choir, and the String Quartets. Talented vocalists participate in full-scale productions of the Opera Theater. Dedicated performers my be honored by selection to the biannual Honors Recital. Twice yearly, the choral organizations combine with the orchestra to present choral-orchestral concerts of works from the oratorio repertoire. Talented instrumentalists compete for solo performances with the orchestra in our Concerto Competition. Rarely does a small liberal-arts college offer the range of performing opportunities available at Furman. You can choose from among more than 20 different student ensembles. All performing groups are open to majors and non-majors alike.
