The UNCG School of Music has been recognized for years as one of the elite
music institutions in the United States. Fully accredited by the National
Association of Schools of Music since 1938, the School offers the only
comprehensive music program from undergraduate through doctoral study in
both performance and music education in North Carolina. From a total
population of approximately 12,700 university students, the UNCG School of
Music serves over 575 music majors with a full-time faculty and staff of sixty.
As such, the UNCG School of Music ranks among the largest Schools of Music
in the South.
The UNCG School of Music now occupies a new 26 million dollar music
building which is among the finest music facilities in the nation. In fact, the
new music building is the largest academic building on the UNCG Campus. A
large music library with state-of-the-art playback, study and research facilities
houses all music reference materials. Greatly expanded classroom, studio,
practice room, and rehearsal hall spaces are key components of the new
structure. Two new recital halls, a large computer lab, a psycho-acoustics lab,
electronic music labs, and recording studio space are additional features of the
new facility. In addition, an enclosed multi-level parking deck adjoins the new
music building to serve students, faculty and concert patrons.
Living in the artistically thriving Greensboro—Winston-Salem—High Point
“Triad” area, students enjoy regular opportunities to attend and perform in
concerts sponsored by such organizations as the Greensboro Symphony
Orchestra, the Greensboro Opera Company, and the Eastern Music Festival. In
addition, UNCG students interact first-hand with some of the world’s major
artists who frequently schedule informal discussions, open rehearsals, and
master classes at UNCG.
Costs of attending public universities in North Carolina, both for in-state and
out-of-state students, represent a truly exceptional value in higher education.

The Gate City Camerata is a unique ensemble composed of the UNCG School
of Music string faculty and selected string students. This chamber music
experience affords students the opportunity to rehearse and perform with their
faculty mentors - truly a rare learning experience. Since its inception four years
ago, this professional-level ensemble has performed in many parts of North
Carolina and has accepted invitations to perform as a featured ensemble at the
North Carolina Music Teachers Association Convention and at the North
Carolina Music Educators Association Conference. The ensemble recently
performed four concerts on chamber music series sponsored by the Wilmington
Chamber Music Society, American Music Festival, Pamlico Musical Society
and on Bald Head Island. Through an educational outreach component arranged
in conjunction with these eastern NC venues, the Gate City Camerata performed
for more than 2000 school students. The ensemble performs without a conductor
and has recently programmed works ranging from Béla Bartók’s Divertimento
and Alfred Schnittke’s Concerto for Three to Mozart’s Divertimenti and
Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.
