What distinguishes the Williams music program from that of other liberal arts colleges?
Williams is one of the top rated colleges in the country largely due to the excellence of its academic program. This includes the sciences, social sciences and humanities, and the arts are no exception. The Music program aspires to the same level of excellence as any program at the College. Historically some small colleges see music as a service department providing entertainment to students while they pursue the “true academic mission”. We believe music is part of that mission and although it is not a total immersion program as a conservatory would be, the level of our performances and courses often meets and exceeds the level of those institutions.
