Welcome! Since its founding in 1946, the Department of Music has provided opportunities for Washington University students to enrich their education through the study of music. This site offers an overview of our curriculum at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. A perusal of our events calendar will show you an extensive season of performances by our own soloists and ensembles, as well as guest artists. We hope that you get a sense of our lively, exciting musical environment at Washington University.
