If performing a degree recital outside of a conservatory venue (including remote recitals), the student will be responsible for contacting Concert Production to confirm that the recital was completed in order to receive credit with the college registrar.

Cancelation Policy:

Due to the large number of performances sponsored by the conservatory each term, it is extremely important that students perform on their assigned dates. All requests to cancel a degree recital require submission of a completed Application for Degree Recital Cancelation with the approval of the appropriate applied faculty. Contact conpro@oberlin.edu for more info.

All degree recitals will be given a minimum of 30 minutes for setup. (Exception: organ and percussion)

Approved Recital Length:

Students presenting a shared junior recital are allowed a maximum of 35 minutes of music each. Students presenting a solo junior recital prior to Thanksgiving may present 50 mins of music. For more info, please contact ConPro@oberlin.edu

• Faculty members will be responsible for the accurate timings of works and are encouraged to assist students in designing programs (both for solo and shared performances) that will be artistically satisfying while adhering to time constraints.
