The Music Department at Vassar College welcomes you to its Spring 2019 series of concerts at Belle Skinner Hall of Music. We are delighted to continue Vassar’s tradition of great music by offering a rich variety of performances by guest artists, faculty, and students.
We are proud to welcome several outstanding guest artists to the Recital Hall stage this semester including an organ recital with Douglas Cleveland, an evening of creole soul with trumpeter Etienne Charles, and baroque band ACRONYM.
We also look forward to presenting numerous senior recitals and concerts by students in the Vassar College Orchestra, Chamber Music Program, Choir, Wind Ensemble, Chamber Singers (formerly the Madrigal Singers), Jazz Ensemble & Combos, and Women’s Chorus.
The annual Modfest celebration takes place from January 31 - February 10 featuring a variety of unique performances by faculty, students, and special guests including Ensemble Mik Nawooj, Joshua Roman and JACK Quartet, and the Attacca Quartet. Please visit music.vassar.edu/concerts for a detailed listing of events.
Whether you are a member of the Vassar community, or a resident of the area, we cordially invite you to this free concert series. We hope you will join us often!
