Throughout the ages, in every culture, music has played an important role in giving shape to, and being shaped by, relationships among human beings. Worship, social activities, and other arts depend on music to elevate and complete the experience. Concordia’s music courses and ensembles reflect the belief that everyone can and should be a musician at some level. Each student has the opportunity to explore the power of music and develop his or her own musical skills, interests, and knowledge.
