Do you play an instrument or sing? Our ensembles are open to all Queen's students!
Hone your collaboration and team-work skills in a music ensemble! The experience of co-creating music is unparalleled in the way it brings joy and stretches the mind. At the DAN School, we offer a range of ensemble experiences to anyone within the Queen’s community. Ensembles regularly participate in collaborations with professional performers and composers, including with the Kingston Symphony Orchestra.
Undergraduate students within the Faculty of Arts and Science can enrol in an ensemble for a course credit upon completing a successful audition/application. All ensembles are scheduled to run through the Fall and Winter terms, and to receive credit, students must participate in both terms. Students may register in a maximum of three ensembles per year.
Large and Medium Ensembles
Ensemble courses are full-year courses, and students are expected to participate in both the Fall and Winter Terms.
Students who wish to participate must submit an application form and an audition video by July 28, 2025 at 11:59 pm. Learn more about each ensemble and audition requirements:
Small Ensembles
Students can also form small groups where a faculty member coaches them. Students can either create a group with other students and apply as a group or apply as an individual. Small (Chamber) Ensembles can play any style of music – classical, contemporary, music theatre, sonic arts, etc.
Information about Small Ensemble applications will be shared in the coming weeks.
