Music is one of the seven original liberal arts—and it’s just as indispensable for modern students as it was for the ancient Greeks.
Whether you dream of life as a composer, or you simply want to keep playing your instrument, Macalester’s Music Department has something to offer you. Music serves a fundamental human need, allowing us to explore, express, and communicate, both as individuals and as entire cultures. As a discipline, music offers an irreplaceable perspective and critical lens, both of which help fulfill the broader mission of Macalester.
Our curriculum includes courses in the craft of music, including performance, theory, and composition, as well as opportunities to learn conducting and recording

Review: SCHMIGADOON at Kennedy Center
by Elliot Lanes
- February 04, 2025
During the pandemic, musical theatre lovers were hit with withdrawal. Apple TV took us out of our funk when Schmigadoon hit the air in July of 2021. The series took an original story line and based it around a specific genre of musical theatre. The result had us laughing and singing along for two seasons. The first season was more of the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic variety of musical while season two had more of a Chicago/Pippin vibe. For whatever reason, the third season was written but Apple TV elected not to go into production with it.
