Hundreds of first-year students joined faculty and other members of the campus community as the College officially launched its 229th academic year during its annual Convocation ceremony. The Hollander Convocation Music Prize was presented to Yutong Wu '25. Wu performed a beautiful rendition of Franz Liszt’s “Consolidation No. 2 in E major, S. 172.” The prize was established by the late Lawrence J. Hollander, dean of engineering emeritus.

Union College offers a wide variety of courses in music theory, music technology, composition, music history, world music, and jazz studies. The music faculty are incredibly Interdisciplinary, and offer courses that intersect with other departments and programs across campus. Students enjoy many opportunities to perform in our numerous ensembles and develop musicianship through private lessons. We offer a Major, ID, Minor and a Global and Popular Musics Minor.
