Set the Stage for Success

Students in UNT's Symphony Orchestra rehearse and perform regularly in our beautiful Winspear Hall.

The UNT College of Music became home to the nation’s first jazz degree in 1946 and—with nine big bands, four vocal jazz ensembles, more than a half-dozen specialty jazz ensembles and approximately 25 small groups—the program continues to thrive today.
