All of the opportunities you mentioned are very open to students on campus, and they’re all pretty high quality. I went to a performance by the Brown Choir a few weeks ago and was extremely impressed. I also pretty often could hear the orchestra rehearsing at night from my dorm room, and they sounded great to me (I have a couple friends who are in the orchestra and they’re enjoying it). I also have a number of friends in a few a cappella groups (of which we have SO MANY), and they all have a blast. Finally, there are plenty of musicals around campus: I saw quite a few over the year, and was even in one of our 15-minute, student-written “Mini Musicals,” and that was lots of fun. I also took voice lessons for the first time first semester and enjoyed them.

If you’re not planning on becoming a professional musician as you say, there’s no reason to turn down Brown on the basis of extracurricular music opportunities. There’s plenty to get involved in (more than I mentioned here), and you’ll have a great time if you choose to do so.
