Princeton’s Department of Music is at the epicenter of a musical culture that is broad and deep, reaching from edge to edge of the campus, from the classroom to the concert hall, and from faculty-led groups to those run exclusively by students. An important feature hard to discern from a list of courses and ensembles is the Music Department’s emphasis on collaboration involving not only individuals and groups within the department (graduate composers composing for the undergraduate orchestra, graduate musicologists making a performance edition for an undergraduate opera production) as well as other departments. Frequent interdisciplinary collaborators with the music department include students and faculty from Computer Science, Architecture and of course the programs in Theater, Dance, Visual Art and Creative Writing all housed within the Lewis Center for the Creative and Performing Arts.
