Music At Ursuline
Ursuline students have many musical gifts to share! Whether a gifted singer, talented instrumentalist, or an individual looking to learn more about music, there is a home for every student in our robust music and performance program.
All vocal and instrumental groups perform at our two major concerts during the school year: The Christmas Gathering in December and The Festival of the Arts in May. They also perform at special public and private events throughout the local community.
