Recent projects in music include:
The Performing artists series brings world-class performers to campus not only to perform, but to work with students in workshops, seminars and classes. Recent visitors include Grammy Award-winning vocal ensemble Chanticleer, Piffaro, Harlem String Quartet, Imani Winds, Alex Torres and the Latin Kings, the Hachioji Kuruma Ningyo Puppet Company, and Ralph Stanley.
The College Choir continues a tradition of choral excellence that dates to the founding of this ensemble in 1867. The choir's annual spring concert tour has recently included performances in Chicago, Montreal and Atlanta, and the choir also has toured Europe seven times in 25 years most recently to Italy in 2009. Likewise the College Orchestra has logged five concert tours in a decade, including a trip to Romania and Bulgaria.
Students maintain many of their own musical groups that perform on and off campus. Among them: The Gospel Choir which ranges in size from 10 to 30 students; the Buffers, a men's a cappella octet; the Hamiltones, a progressive, coed a cappella group; Special K, an innovative women's close-harmony group; and Tumbling After, a women's a cappella group.
