Informal Recital (305)
 

Not mandatory for completion of degree requirements but may be required by the applied professor or given with their approval; may only be given in Bienen venues during fall and winter quarters.

Graduate Conducting & Composition

Graduate conducting and composition students are given the flexibility to request a recital date and time before the academic year begins. They are also NOT restricted to using posted recital slots and have access to Pick-Staiger Concert Hall. However, recitals may not be given during the first two weeks of fall quarter, nor may they be given on or after the Friday of exam week in any quarter.

Unless approved by the Concert Management Office, graduate conducting and composition recitals will start at 7:30 p.m., or also at 3 p.m. on weekends, with set-up starting two hours before and stage time provided until the house opens. A maximum of 30 minutes is provided for stage strike following the performance, which should not be longer than two hours in length.

Jazz and BM Composition Recital Times

Jazz and BM composition recitals can be scheduled on weekday evenings at 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., and on weekends at noon, 2:30 p.m., 6 p.m., and 8:30 p.m. in McClintock and Regenstein MCR.

Due to the added technical support needed for jazz and BM composition recitals in Galvin Recital Hall, these recitals can only be scheduled on weekday evenings at 6 p.m., and on weekends at noon and 6 p.m. This allows the technical services staff to prepare the venue without a recital directly preceding it.

Recitalists will not be given early access unless expressly requested by the Technical Services Managers.
