All performances will be held in Ingle Auditorium of the Student Alumni Union on the RIT campus.
Approximately 300 students from a variety of majors at RIT perform in one of the ensembles, earning credit towards their fine arts requirement or music minor, and offsetting their studies with a creative outlet.
“Most students on campus are involved with some extracurricular activity to balance their major, ” Kruger says. “We’re seeking an opportunity to continue their musical interest from high school to college and to encourage their support of the arts after college.”
