Department of Music Visiting Committee Colloquium Series

As the most regular occasion for all-departmental intellectual dialogue and an opportunity for outside professional contact, the Colloquium Series is an important part of academic life at Chicago. Colloquium lectures are usually given by scholars and composers specially visiting for the purpose, who also meet with students for lunches and socialize with the entire Department at a reception. The Colloquium is taken for credit in years 3 and 4 of a graduate student’s career (or exceptionally in later years), but most members of the Department, including both faculty and students, attend. The Colloquium Series typically includes four or five presentations each quarter, normally held on Friday afternoons.

Please check the Department calendar for updates or join our mailing list to receive regular information about colloquium dates and speakers.
