Serving both the university community and the entire Gulf Coast region through profound artistic and academic achievement, the Department of Music Musical Arts Concert Series features faculty recitals and student ensemble performances worthy of inclusion on anyone's "not-to-be-missed" list of events. Regular MAS attendees have been treated since 2001 to an average of 30 concerts per season. Student ensemble programs range from regular concerts by the Wind Ensemble, Symphony Band, University Chorale, Opera & Musical Theatre, Percussion Ensemble, Concert Choir, Jazz Ensemble, Flute Choir and Brass Ensembles, while the performing faculty normally is represented in half of the concerts in the form of terrific solo and chamber ensemble recitals.
Scheduled for the most part in USA's Laidlaw Performing Arts Center 240-seat Recital Hall, concerts on the Musical Arts Series begin at 7:30 p.m. for evening performances and at 3:00 p.m. for scheduled Sunday events. Tickets for admission to all MAS concerts are sold at the door only (except where indicated) and generally the hall is open to our patrons 45 minutes in advance of each presentation. Except where indicated, tickets are $8 each for general admission and $5 for USA faculty & staff, USA students, youths under 18 and all seniors. Questions regarding special accommodation or other considerations should be directed to the Events Coordinator (251-460-7116) or the Music Department Staff (251-460-6136).
