The quality of music education at RIC is second to none. For our students, the study of music takes place on stage as well as in the classroom. Enjoy our numerous ensembles: a chamber singer group, chorus, jazz band, symphony orchestra, wind ensemble, women's chorus, and many additional smaller performing arrangements.
Each year many of our theatre students work alongside actors, directors, and managers from companies such as the Trinity Repertory Company and Looking Glass Theatre. Rhode Island College stages four major productions annually, giving you an excellent chance to see the performance and technical talents of our students.
Join us for a night of musical performances by two of RIC's esteemed singing groups.
