At Gustavus, music is affirmed in its place at the heart of the liberal arts tradition. At the same time that the Department of Music plays an integral role in the dynamic cultural life of the College, it provides students with a rigorous, innovative music curriculum and an experience of high challenge and recognized excellence.

As an advocate of the value of music in education and the human experience, the Department of Music offers the unique opportunities for students to perform in the larger community. Performance beyond the campus establishes and strengthens ties with regional and national audiences, and through tours, internationalizes the study of music for students.

The department of Music has a strong commitment to general education and highly encourages non-music majors to enroll in its performance classes and introductory courses. The Department also shares the cultural and spiritual values of music both with the Gustavus community and the broader community.
