Music
Duke offers many opportunities for making music on campus. Concerts presented by the Music Department last year attracted over 12,000 audience members. The Ciompi Quartet has a large following in the community, and the entire music faculty are committed to mentoring students in private lessons, ensembles, and classes. Each year, Duke Performances presents the finest music programming in the area, including a keyboard series offering concerts and master classes by Leon Fleisher, Simone Dinnerstein, Angela Hewitt, Gabriela Montero, Barry Harris, Jason Moran, and Herbie Hancock.
The campus music scene is energized by student groups such as Small Town Records, The Pitchforks, Lady Blue, Rhythm & Blue, Sapphire, Something Borrowed Something Blue, Duke University Athletic Bands, Kol Kachol, Out of the Blue, the Coffeehouse, WXDU, the Campus Concert Series, and the Duke University Union. Students interested in the arts may wish to join the Arts Theme House.
