Performances
With dozens of performing organizations and more than 400 instrumental and vocal performances, recitals, plays, master classes, dance performances, and musical theatre productions a year, performance is central to Hartt's curriculum.
Hartt's students often collaborate across disciplines to present fully-staged opera and musical productions, dance concerts, recitals, and other original works. Faculty and students also perform together frequently.
The Richard P. Garmany Chamber Music Series
Under the leadership of founding curator Steve Metcalf, the Garmany Series quickly established a tradition of presenting world-class artists performing meaningful and enriching programs. Whenever possible, we seek out new music, cutting-edge ensembles and innovative approaches to the performance of chamber music. At the same time, we try to make sure that the needs of our students are met, involving as many different areas of the School as possible.
The annual four-concert series, which has brought to campus more than thirty-five of the most admired and innovative musical artists and ensembles in the world, is supported by the Richard P. Garmany Fund at the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving.
