Academic Based Groups

Academic Based Groups - PRELIM. LISTING

 

NOTE: Appearance here does not mean comunity members are invited, except for those in the first (LISTED) section (some of them do not qualify for inclusion is this web site). Until more information is available here, you should contact the Music School to find out if the non-enrolled community members can join (or sit in) and the requirements (usually an audition and an available seat). Underlined groups in the second (PROBABLE) section are listed on their websites as available to the community. Despite this, I have to presume this is not altogether reliable information. BTW I will NOT be looking for information on secondary school groups.

Hartwick College (Oneonta) - Wind Ensemble (see page) Jason Leo Curley, director membership includes Hartwick students, faculty, and members of the Oneonta community.

Possible Music Groups, Not Yet Found

 

Cazenovia College - no program listed on website

Elmira College - a possible ensemble is implied but not described on website

Finger Lakes Community College - apparently VOCAL only

Morrisville State College - no program listed on website


Apparently NO Music Groups for Wind/String/Percussion Instrumentalists

 

Keuka College - N/A

Le Moyne College - N/A

St. John Fisher College - N/A

SUNY Cortland - Music Theater only

Wells College - N/A

 


I believe those groups having a significant community orientation (allowing community people in) and less of an exclusive student-orientation should be on this list. Beyond those in the first (LISTED) section above, I do not know which ones. If you have specific suggestions regarding groups with this sponsorship, please contact me about this at freds.bands@gmail.com .

 

 

Updates and Reconsiderations:

I currently have listed several academic-based groups, I'm sure that, from the above list, there are many groups to consider further. As I get time, I will list 10-15 more from the Rochester area.
