Develop a well-rounded performance repertoire

From performing on-stage with an ensemble or orchestra, to performing in the pit for a musical theatre production, studying instrumental performance at Huntington University will bolster your craft and love for music. You’ll thrive in the The Merillat Centre for the Arts, performing in recitals in Longaker Recital Hall and Zurcher Auditorium, as well as other on-campus and regional concerto competitions and making guest performances at area churches. At HU, you’ll journey from the practice room to the concert hall as you prepare for a career in instrumental performance.
