The School of Music, Theatre, and Dance welcomes the entire campus community to join our student and faculty musicians for another season of recitals, ensemble concerts, guest artists, and special events! All concerts and events in the Center for Music are free and open to all, and we'd love to see you in the seats of our beautiful concerts halls. If you can't make it in person, though, remember that most of our large ensemble concerts are also available to view via livestream (and available shortly afterward for on-demand viewing) at ithaca.edu/music/live

Here's what's happening this week in Whalen Center for Music:

Saturday, September 9
Jazz Ensemble: Concert for Children and Families
10:00 am | Ford Hall

Get ready to clap and sing along with the Ithaca College Jazz Ensemble! This annual event is an enjoyable way for kids of all ages to learn about this great American music. Families are encouraged to stay and enjoy the show even if their kids make noise. After all, making a joyous noise is what jazz is all about.
