Our Day of Giving may be over, but please click here to still support SCU.
Music Department


Support a rich and diverse musical culture at SCU!


Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we have been able to purchase new scores and musical instruments for our ensembles, fund guest artists and composers, and continue to expand our program offerings to include festivals and concerts that bring a rich and diverse musical culture to Santa Clara University.

We are excited about the increased participation in our classes and ensembles, and about the many new students declaring a major or minor in music. This continued growth reflects the broad array of classes and musical experiences we are able to offer students across the university. 

With your support this Day of Giving, we can provide the resources necessary for the continued success of the Music program at Santa Clara University."
