Inside the Department

The 2018 Reactions to the Record symposium will take place April 6-8 in Braun Music Center on the Stanford University campus and will focus on The Player Piano Project.

The Department of Music Production Coordinator performs specialized, diverse work activities and coordinates solutions under limited supervision supporting the concert hall rehearsals and productions of Department of Music ensembles. This is an individual contributor role. You will be expected to work with Department of Music ensemble directors to determine production needs for ensemble rehearsals and concerts at Department of Music venues, especially those involving Bing Concert Hall.

This is a part time position.

We recently displayed information on a Stanford Woodwind Quintet concert with an incorrect date. That event will actually occur next year, on March 17th.  Our Winter 2018 events are being added to the Music calendar this week.

Due to a scheduling conflict, the Nov. 11 recital by Jake Gold and Tiffany Jiang has been moved from Toyon Hall to Braun Rehearsal Hall.  Start time will be 7:30 p.m.

The University Singers concert scheduled for March 7th has been canceled.  There is no new date planned at present for that program, but the University Singers will be appearing at Bing Concert Hall with the Stanford Symphony Orchestra and Stanford Symphonic Chorus in March. More details on that program coming in January!
