Home to more than 150 undergraduate majors and graduate students, the UCR Department of Music offers a broad-based music education preparing students for a variety of careers in music performance, composition, education, the music industry, and more. Concerts by our dozen ensembles--ranging from orchestra and band to Javanese gamelan and mariachi--feature hundreds of student performers and reach an audience of thousands from campus and the Riverside region every year. Our alumni perform on Hollywood soundtracks and Grammy-winning recordings, teach at K-12 schools, private studios, and universities across the country and world, and conduct cutting-edge research on music, culture, and technology.
Private support from donors like you advances our mission to provide a top-tier musical education to our students. Your donation to the Friends of Music fund directly supports student scholarships that underwrite voice and instrumental lessons for music majors. Support the next generation of musicians—give today!
