Meet Us

We offer both on- and off-campus opportunities for you to learn more about the Setnor School of Music. Many of the dates and places listed below also give you the opportunity to have the audition required for admission for all students except those applying to the Bandier Program for Music and the Entertainment Industries. Please refer to our section on Audition Requirements for specific guidelines.

You may audition before or after you submit your application, but you must register at least two weeks prior to your chosen audition date. If audition dates are full, you may submit a taped audition in lieu of auditioning in person. Please refer to our section on Submitting Your Audition for more information.
