Students perform both as soloists and as members of chamber music ensembles. A special feature of the Student Recital Series is the graduation recital, which all piano, violin, viola, cello, timpani and percussion, and composition students are required to give; many other students do, as well.
Highlights from the student recitals are featured occasionally on radio stations WHYY-FM in Philadelphia and WITF-FM in Harrisburg, and on Y Arts, the digital cable service of Philadelphia public television station WHYY (Y Arts Schedule).
