Here you will find student and faculty voice recitals, choral concerts, music theatre and opera productions. Prof. Jenny Bent is the Director of Choral and Vocal Activities.
Jazz Season:
Our four jazz ensembles perform twice each semester. SSU Jazz ensembles include:
- SSU Jazz Orchestra – the flagship 18-piece ensemble performing Big Band standards and modern jazz ensemble repertoire
- Concert Jazz Combos – two ensembles each semester rotating on a particular jazz sub-genre or era
- Latin Band – devoted to the styles, rhythms, and concepts found in music from the Caribbean, Brazil, and Haiti
Jewish Music Series
The Jewish Music Series at Sonoma State is a presentation of the Department of Music and the Jewish Studies Program. Now in its 9th year, the series is widely acclaimed for its breadth, depth, and musical excellence as it poses the eternal question of “What makes music Jewish?”
Orchestra Season
The Sonoma State Symphony Orchestra enters its 2024-2025 under the direction of Alexander Kahn. Professor Kahn leads the Symphony Orchestra through a diverse array of orchestral literature, ranging from the Baroque period to world premieres and from classical repertoire to film, opera, and educational works.
