With the assistance of the School of Arts and Sciences and the Student Activities Council, the Department of Music sponsors a wide range of performance activities that allow students to refine their musicianship in an enjoyable yet challenging environment. Students may elect to receive credit for their participation in these professionally-led Department ensembles: Penn Symphony Orchestra, Penn Wind Ensemble, Penn Chamber, Penn Baroque and Recorder Ensembles, Penn Jazz Combos, University Choral Society, University Choir, Ancient Voices, and the Brazilian Samba Ensemble.
