Performance Student Showcase
Welcome to the online showcase for student musicians at the CSU East Bay Music Department! Below are recordings from student recitals in classical instrumental, vocal, and jazz performance. Music majors take one-on-one lessons with our outstanding faculty and also perform in ensembles of all shapes and sizes. Performers can often be heard as soloists in ensemble performances and student recitals. For voice students, recital repertoire includes classical music as well as any other areas of vocal music that interest students including musical theater, jazz, spirituals, and more. Students studying Jazz regularly perform with some of the world's top jazz artists at regular festivals on campus.
