The LCO presents concerts in Longy’s Pickman Hall and in off-campus venues such as Sanders Theatre at Harvard University and the Richard B. Fisher Center at Bard College. The LCO collaborates with Longy’s opera department to perform one fully-staged opera each year and with Longy’s composition department in readings and performances of student compositions.
Georges Longy’s belief in the power of collaboration inspires the central role of chamber music in our conservatory. Students work closely with faculty coaches every semester and explore ensemble playing through coursework, informal readings, and community outreach. In addition to semesterly chamber music concerts and frequent outreach opportunities, student groups may also audition to participate in the year-end Honors Concert and various competitions.
Longy students in all programs are encouraged to participate in conservatory-wide competitions. Competition winners are showcased in high-profile performances highlighting musical excellence at Longy.
The JCM Department at Longy is very excited to announce a monthly residency at the illustrious Lilypad in Inman Square, Cambridge. This is an unparalleled opportunity for our Jazz & Contemporary Music students to perform, experiment and collaborate in preparation for becoming professional musicians in the real world. Come and listen to what the students at Longy have been working on inside and out of their regularly scheduled ensembles and classes. Please consider coming and bringing a few friends.
