The School of Music at Olivet Nazarene University is eager to present a full season of concerts and recitals during fall 2025. Throughout the semester, student and faculty recitals and ensemble shows will showcase musical talent in venues across campus and in the community at the new Bourbonnais Grove. The sounds of the ONU Tiger Marching Band can also be enjoyed at every home football and basketball game throughout the fall.
In addition to large group ensemble performances, students who are studying music as a major or minor have multiple opportunities to share their talents with the public. Senior recitals for the fall 2025 semester will take place on October 10 and 24, November 3, 14 and 19. Other student recitals will take place on December 1 and 8. All student recitals are held in Kresge Auditorium.
