Fine Arts Music Contest run-offs begin Monday, Feb. 4. The categories to enter include men’s and women’s voice, strings (plucked and bowed), woodwinds, brass, piano and composition.

Dr. Ed Dunbar, chair of the Division of Music, said this competition asks students to prepare a piece without any faculty assistance and perform before a committee of judges. “We’re really preparing them for ‘real life,’” Dunbar said.

Entries for the art division, which include the categories studio 2D and 3D, graphic design, interior design and apparel/textile design, are not due until April.
