Performance Groups
There are a growing number of outstanding ensembles at Queen’s, run by an enthusiastic group of staff, professional musicians, and students. These ensembles are made up of students inside and outside the School, and musicians from the local community. You are strongly encouraged to join an ensemble during your studies at Queen’s. Ensembles meet and perform regularly—they are a terrific way of becoming acquainted with a wider community of musicians and participating in adventurous performances. Students who regularly participate in an ensemble will be awarded a Degree Plus award upon graduation.
