The 400-seat Evans Auditorium is well known in Portland for its superior acoustics. It's used throughout the year for student recitals and other music performances.
Students interested in performance can take private lessons in any band or orchestral instrument, as well as in voice, piano, organ, and harpsichord and in instruments from India, Japan, and Java. Lessons are offered to beginning and advanced students by a performance faculty of national repute. Faculty-directed ensembles, allowing students to perform in a group, include a symphonic wind ensemble, two choral groups, orchestra, jazz ensemble, musical theatre, and chamber music groups.
The Department of Music makes use of an extensive collection of more than 4,000 recordings, tapes, and cassettes--plus a fully equipped listening center--housed in Aubrey R. Watzek Library.
