Performing arts have a long-standing heritage at Mount St Joseph University and we are proud to expand performing arts opportunities.
In addition to music-specific major and minor program offerings, performance opportunities in Theatre Lab, University Band & Orchestra, and University Singers are available to ALL students from any major or program. Students involved in these groups can apply to qualify for an award of up to $1,000 a year off tuition. Contact Mark McCafferty at mark.mccafferty@msj.edu for details.
String players attending MSJ are eligible to perform with the Cincinnati Metropolitan Orchestra, an offsite (Seton High School Theater) community orchestra that typically draws between 600 and 1,000 person audiences. Course credit is available.
