Divisional, Departmental, Studio Recitals

All divisional and departmental recitals are to be scheduled with the approval of the appropriate division director. Studio recitals may be scheduled by the associated applied faculty, and do not require approval by the division director.

Recital dates may be requested beginning May 1 for the following academic year. Dates are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Long-term advanced scheduling of these events is possible by contacting Concert Production.

  • Division directors may contact Concert Production in order to request divisional or departmental recitals.
  • To reserve time for a studio recital, a completed Application for Conservatory Event form must be emailed to Concert Production by the associated applied faculty. Studio recitals may be scheduled by the associated applied faculty, and do not require approval by the division director. We also will accept requests by e-mail, including the desired venue, date, and time.

Predesignated times for divisional and departmental recitals vary; contact Concert Production for more information. There are no predesignated slots for studio recitals.

  • No recitals, concerts, or other events requiring staff support are scheduled for Mondays.

Divisional, departmental, and studio recitals may not be scheduled against any conservatory-sponsored event of the same instrument
