operaology:

Is there an opera scene? I read that tomorrow an Opera that a Bryn Mawr student composed will be performed. If you know anything else about music, do you know how active the classical music community is at BMC? I am applying as a Biology major on premed track and will be submitting a portfolio that includes art songs and arias. I am interested in Opera but have had to practice unofficially as my school does not offer music and the cost of taking Opera lessons is too expensive.

Hi @operaology ! So I am an instrumental classical musician who is very involved in the department and I can tell you that the community is fairly active. All of the music stuff happens at Haverford because that’s where the department is based but around half of the students participating are BMC students. I am not a singer, but I can tell you that you will likely be able to receive a subsidy that will help cover the cost of lessons. We have a large chorale as well as chamber singers. If you have any other questions, I can try to answer or you can ask the director, he’s super nice and his email should be on the Haverford website.
