Student Musicians Come Together for WSU's Longest-Running Music Tradition

Students with a chamber music concentration have many opportunities to showcase their musical talent.

Wichita State's longest-running musical tradition is the annual Candlelight Concert. The concert was modeled after the famous St. Olaf College Christmas Festival.

Student musicians from a variety of disciplines are heard by eager audiences who have enjoyed the annual event for nearly 60 years.

Curriculum

To complete the Master of Music degree, you'll take a minimum of 32 credit hours, with 60 percent of your work in courses numbered 700 or above, and complete a thesis or recital depending on your concentration.

Every MM concentration requires 12 credit hours of core courses — in addition to hours in your specialization area.
