Music has occupied a place of prominence at Vassar College since its founding, in its curriculum, faculty, student activities, and facilities. Formed in 1865, the Department of Music offers an extensive program encompassing opportunities for majors and non-majors to explore performance, composition, history, and theory in depth. Students are encouraged to gain a broad perspective in several or all

of these areas. With a student-to-faculty ratio of approximately eleven to one, and an average class size of fifteen, the department is able to support individual students as they work to realize their full musical potential.

Faculty percussionist Frank Cassara will be joined by the NYC-based ensemble Percussia. Together they will perform his new work, Broadway Boogie Woogie. Scored for mallet instruments, harp, flute, and viola, this new work, supported by a NYSCA endowment, was inspired by the eponymous painting by Piet Mondrian. Rounding out the program will be recent works by Pedro Giraudo, Tom Nazziola, and Frank London.
