The New England Conservatory of Music

Performance studies and theoretical courses regularly offered at the New England Conservatory of Music may be elected for credit by qualified students. Under the provisions of an inter-institutional agreement between the New England Conservatory of Music and Simmons College, duly enrolled students at Simmons College may elect to include in their programs for full credit certain courses normally offered by the conservatory, subject to certain specified conditions, the details of which should be obtained from the Department of Art and Music. A Simmons student who wishes to pursue a course at the conservatory must be recommended by the music faculty at Simmons College. The student will then be referred to the New England Conservatory of Music. Simmons College and the New England Conservatory reserve the right to determine whether prerequisites for the course in question have been met and whether the student is fully qualified to pursue the course elected. Please see additional information found under MUS 349 Directed Study.

The Simmons College Concert Choir, Danica Buckley, Music Director

The Simmons College Concert Choir is a chorus open to all Simmons graduates, undergraduates, faculty and staff. Rehearsals begin in September and January and take place once a week. The Concert Choir prepares two programs each year, performing one major concert at the end of each semester. The repertoire includes classical music written for voice from the Renaissance to the 20th century. Some choral singing experience is helpful but not necessary.
