Macalester College Asian Music Ensemble

Macalester College Asian Music Ensemble

see http://www.macalester.edu/academics/music/ensembles/

This seems like a new thing to look out for in your next college besides the traditional western classical symphony orchestra


They have an African Music ensemble too.

The Macalester Asian Music Ensemble performs traditional and modern music from East and Central Asia. Core instruments include a variety of plucked lutes and zithers, bowed fiddles, bamboo/reed flutes, hammered dulcimer, and percussion from Chinese music and traditions across the Silk Road.

Registration

Registration for ensembles is taken care of by the directors of the ensembles during the first week of classes. Be aware there is some lag time between when students turn in registration information to the director and when the class appears on records.

Course Credits

• 1 credit per semester, but only after two consecutive semesters of enrollment. 
• Study abroad does not count as an interruption. 
• Credits for ensembles do not count towards the College's 18-credit limit.
• Ensemble credits count towards the Fine Arts requirement, but only if the student has registered for four consecutive semesters of the same ensemble.
