Degree Recital Scheduling

Some reminders for students scheduling degree recitals this semester:

1. The composition faculty strongly recommends that you avoid scheduling a degree recital on a Friday or Saturday night, if you wish to have your teachers and your peers in attendance. Many faculty and students are season ticket-holders for the IU Opera Theatre, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and other arts groups in the area that hold their presentations on these evenings. It is inconvenient, and sometimes costly, to change dates for which tickets have already been purchased. When arranging your recital, you should also avoid conflicts with the I500 Seminar, the New Music Ensemble and, whenever possible, with other major performing groups in the School of Music.

2. MM: Computer Music Composition recitals must be scheduled during a Fall or Spring semester (i.e. no Summer Session MM:MCM recitals).

3. Check the events page for possible conflicts.

4. Immediately after scheduling your recital, send the date, time and location to the department Coordinator for inclusion on the composition department Events page.
